Hey Folks,
I'm likely to need to do some mac based java development on the Mac
and am wondering if Eclipse is usable in voiceover.
I went searching the list and found there were issues on Snowleopard.
Does anyone know if java eclipse is usable with voiceover on lion?
Thanks Much,

There was no conclusion.
One reason is that the focus of this discussion isn't really clear.

When you say "I should be able to", you really mean "windows allows me to"
I'm afraid the mac doesn't have menu keys like windows does. It does
have short cut keys for individual menu items.

Anyone using standard SMTP based mail (whether it be Mac Mail,

I'd actaully suggest yasr instead of speakup.
It runs entirely in user space, and you just kick one off for every
terminal you start up.

I'd suggest doing the OpenNMS development on the same platform they
intend to run their enterprise on. This is likely not the Mac.

Wow! "besides, just go outside" is a rather insensitive thing to

Unfortunately, I can't help with the web page issues. I used it on a

So, Ray says the file isn't hidden. So, if you don't see it in
the root directory of your old SD card, then it sounds like maybe it
is no longer there.
You may need to get the audible manager application and regenerate the
file.

You might try opening a terminal and exploring the card looking for

The quick and dirty answer is that jailbreaking won't interfere
with how VO works with your existing (i.e non jailbroken) apps.
However, many jailbroken apps will not work with voiceover. So, as a

to use it. However, there wi

I don't believe any of the Microsoft programs written for the mac are

Actually,kill sends a signal to a process. Hup, or 1, usually restarts a
process. However, it is up to each program to define how it reacts to any

The two exceptions are the kill signal (9) and the stop signal (26 I think).
These signals can not be seen by the program. The OS shuts dow
