Creating accessible applications with Eclipse: An introduction (developerWorks)
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."
