EMFFacet Accessibility issues
For the simultaneous release, to "Be a good Eclipse Citizen", we should improve our accessibility: Projects should design and test for accessibility compliance, following established guidelines and Eclipse fundamental techniques to achieve accessibility. Projects must document their accessibility work and compliance.
- Everything should be accessible using only the keyboard
- EMF Facet should be compatible with the "hight contrast" and "large fonts" modes
- every element of the interface should be readable by an accessibility software reader (e.g. "narrator" in Windows)
- every information given by color should also be accessible in another way (for color blind people)
- using org.eclipse.swt.accessibility.AccessibleAdapter where it's necessary
