Description eugene_louie CLA 2005-11-04 12:46:34 EST 
When calling setMessage("error message",
org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.IMessageProvider.ERROR) in
org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardPage an error message and error icon appears in
the message area of the wizard.  

When you mouse over the error message, you see the ALT-TEXT associated with the
message however, there is no ALT-TEXT associated with the image.

Adding accessibility keyword.

This control is a Label, which has an optional Image.  The short answer is this is a WONTFIX, for a few reasons:
1. We would have to add an accessible listener to the Label and set text for the image part of the label only in the case that there was a label, etc.  We generally don't employ this strategy in Eclipse.  The Label's is sufficient to assist the user in using the wizard.
2. The image in this case is designed to be helpful and is not information that is necessary to use the wizard.
3. A screen reader can be configured to associate text with a particular image.
