Hello,
A vendor uses Eclipse Integrated Development Environment. Eclipse is
based which uses Java technology to develop software applications.

Does anyone know if there is any inherent accessibility compliance
problems with software developed using Eclipse?

Thank you,
Ed Cohen

Hi Ed,

Are these desktop applications or web-based ones? We use Eclipse to
create Java web applications (Java servlets, not applets), and they're
as accessible as you wish to make them because, as far as the browser
is concerned, it's just HTML.

If you're talking about Java desktop apps, then you probably want to
investigate the accessibility of the windowing toolkits AWT and Swing,
which are the most commonly used ones in Java.

Best regards,

Tim
