Accessibility features

EAServer 5.2 has been tested for compliance with U.S. government Section 508 Accessibility requirements. The online help for this product is also provided in HTML, JavaHelp, and Eclipse help formats, which you can navigate using a screen reader.

EAServer Manager supports working without a mouse. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Sybase Central Overview,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.

The Web Services Toolkit plug-in for Eclipse supports accessibility features for those that cannot use a mouse, are visually impaired or have other special needs. For information about these features refer to Eclipse help:

  1. Start Eclipse.

  2. Select Help | Help Contents.

  3. Enter Accessibility in the Search dialog box

  4. Select Accessible User Interfaces or Accessibility Features for Eclipse

NoteYou may need to configure your accessibility tool for optimal use. Some screen readers pronounce text based on its case; for example, they pronounce ALL UPPERCASE TEXT as initials, and MixedCase Text as words. You might find it helpful to configure your tool to announce syntax conventions. Consult the documentation for your tool.
