Hello
Eclipse takes a bit of getting use to, but its definitely worth it in my
opinion. It offers a debugger, auto indention correction and a convenient
way to store all your java files. These features save much more time than
learning eclipse takes. A braille display is definitely useful, but i dont
use one and it works out fine. Overall, java is farely accessible
