Bugs

Eclipse is an open source project. Testing, bug filing/triage, documentation and code contributions to the accessibility support are very welcome and greatly appreciated.

When you run into an issue, check the Eclipse accessibility bug list.

If your issue isn't in the list, file an Eclipse accessibility bug.

For questions or more information, please use the SWT newsgroup or the Eclipse SWT Community Forum -- accessibility issues will be forwarded to the right person to answer them.

Web Accessibility

The Orion project has a detailed Orion/Accessibility page with lots of information on writing, testing, and using accessible web applications.
