[nfbcs] FW: [orca-list] Eclipse Plug-in to improove accessibility!

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

I have no idea whether this will be helpful outside of the graphical environments for Linux, but think the announcement deserves a somewhat wider audience of programmers:

Hi all!

i'm glad to announce the first version of a new feature that improoves eclipses accessibility for blind users. I've developed this feature at work and have been using it for quite a long time now. Recently my company granted me the permission to release this feature licensed under the LGPL. This feature is not OS dependend.

The feature is called "Overviewruler feature" and provides the ruler at the right hand of the java editor in an accessible way: that is it opens up a popup very similar to the outline where you can select any markers found in the current editor (errors / warnings / todos / fixmes / search results).

For more information see this quickstart guide:
https://github.com/nblix/overviewruler/wiki/Overviewruler---Quickstart

Feel free to contact me if you encounter any problems or want to suggest any improovements etc.

All the best
Jann
