I'm not a Java developer but I thought I'd just try downloading Eclipse
for OSX. It seems like a lot of it is accessible and there are a lot of
things labeled as "Unknown" so it wasn't always clear what was going on.
Were the Unknown items important to getting stuff done? I was able to
use the menu bar to create a new project and such but I couldn't really
go beyond that without really knowing Java. If it really is just missing
labels, as an open source project it seems like somebody could just fix
that and check in the changes.

Greetings List,
I apologize in advance for the cross post.
This is just a quick email to ask if anyone has found a work around for
using Jaws under VMware Fusion with a laptop keyboard layout.
Unfortunately I require Windows at work for Eclipse (a Java IDE), which
doesn't seem to work with VoiceOver at this time.
I have configured a virtual machine in VMware Fusion running Windows
XP and
installed Jaws 6.2 (yes I know it's a bit out of date, but as I mainly
use
the Leopard now, I don't see the point in upgrading).
I have always used JAWS with the laptop keyboard layout back in my
Windows
days, however I find that under Fusion, the capslock key isn't getting
passed to the virtual machine in such a way that it works with JAWS.
So I thought I would drop a quick email to the list with the following
questions.
* has anyone found a way to get this working in VMware Fusion with out
falling back on the desktop keyboard layout?
* Does JAWS now work in Parallels (I see from a quick google search
that it
had some issues), and if this is now working, does it suffer from the
same
issue?
* Long shot I know, but has anyone managed to get Eclipse to work with
VoiceOver?
I know I can just use bootcamp and these issues would go away, however
that
wouldn't allow me the ability to switch seamlessly between OSX and
Windows
with out rebooting.
Any comments / suggestions / feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch
