The buttons to access the features details in the about dialog of Eclipse and RCP Applications are not accessible to screen readers.
A label should be somehow provided.

need accessibility listeners.  Marking for 3.6.
Comment 2 Susan McCourt CLA 2009-09-28 18:05:29 EDT 
Hmmm...
Accessibility support was added for these buttons in release 3.1 (bug 75383).  Which screen reader are you using?
Comment 3 Romain Deltour CLA 2009-10-02 05:18:56 EDT 
Ok, I've just checked and it seems to work fine now, using RCP 3.3 (at least the right accessible label is reported by the Inspect tool, which should be picked by MSAA-compliant screen readers).

As far as I remember I was reported the issue by a co-developer using JAWS.

I'm resolving the issue as WORKSFORME, sorry for your time.
