Bugs
Eclipse is an open source project. Testing, bug filing/triage, documentation and code contributions to the accessibility support are 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 (use the keyword "Accessibility").
For questions or more information, please use the SWT newsgroup -- accessibility issues will be forwarded to the right person to answer them.
