Re: [orca-list] Orca xterm braille Eclipse

[Josà Vilmar EstÃcio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi.
Probably this doesn't help much but I use eclipse all days with orca and 
speech. I don't know which version of gnome you are trying, but I think 
that you should experiment with gnome 3.6.
Unfortunately I've no experiences with orca and braille.
