I haven't seen that particular issue in Eclipse.
Does VoiceOver restart when you are just in the regular edit window, or the
package explorer?
I'm wondering if this might be something weird in what ever control Eclipse
is using to display the documentation, I will have a browse of the open
issues on the Eclipse bug tracker and see if anyone else has reported a
similar problem.

Hey Mitchell, thanks for your note. Well, I seem to be having a
super weird issue with Eclipse. I clicked on the tutorials in the
welcome page and then clicked on learn how to create a stand alone SWT
Hello World application, as I'd like to learn the syntax of the SWT
controls, and Eclipse crashed VO. More specifically, it kept
crashing / restarting VO again and again and again. lol! So
basically, after I'd click on that particular link and Eclipse has
focus, I can't use VO at all. If I tab away from Eclipse, VO starts
again and stays up and running. If I tab back to Eclipse, it begins
crashing / restarting. ick!…
By Chance, are you seeing this issue on your end?… For Reference,
I'm running a MacBook 2.4 GHZ Intel 2 GB ram (white - non-alluminum)
So are you able to tab between your window controls in apps that
you write?… how are you doing it?…
Thanks muchly and talk with you soon!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi Cara,
Firstly, I am using Eclipse 3.4.1 quite successfully on the Mac, there
are definitely a few minor issues which I have raised on the bug tracker,
but for the most part it is fully functional and fine for everyday use.
Secondly, SWT is available outside Eclipse, you could either try writing
your app in native SWT or you might like to consider something like The
Swing/AWT API over SWT library (swingwt.sourceforge.net).
Lastly you mentioned using java-cocoa, I thought the java - cocoa bridge
from Apple had been discontinued? I could be wrong there.
Please let me know how you go with this.
Cheers,
Mitch

Subject: Eclipse, SWT and Java on the Mac
Hey All;
I'm currently coding a Java app in Swing and am really wanting the
ability to tab between GUI controls and to have VO read the contents
of edit fields which the user is focused upon, as the contents
change. Actually more specifically, it would be even nicer to have
scrollable list or text areas read as the user arrows within them.
While my current GUI is accessible it's just not as comfortable to
use as I'd like.
I'm wondering a few things which I'd love love love any feedback on…
• would using SWT take care of my above issues so that my GUI would
act more like a native Cocoa L/F with VO?
• Is anyone successfully using Eclipse with VO, and is it possible to
use SWT outside of Eclipse. I'd think so…
• Lastly, if these aren't good options, is there a way to have the
system self voice these controls I'm concerned with via Java? -
Perhaps with Java-Cocoa?…
Thanks very much for any feedback, and have a lovely day / weekend,
All!…
Smiles,
Cara :)
