Creating accessible applications with Eclipse: An introduction
(developerWorks)
[Posted December 27, 2005 by ris]
IBM developerWorks
looks
at the use of Eclipse and Assistive Technologies (ATs) to create
accessible applications. "
An accessible solution combines an enabled
product and one or more ATs targeted for a user with an impairment. You
create an accessible solution by enabling your product for accessibility
during product design and development. This is analogous to enabling
software for internationalization; that is, you build the infrastructure to
facilitate the addition of functions later on. Then, when you deploy an
accessible product in a work setting for people with disabilities, you can
readily pair it with a complementary AT to create a complete solution. The
AT interprets the enabled software and allows users to interface with
hardware via a variety of alternative access methods."
