- Run Eclipse
- Turn on VoiceOver
- Use Ctrl+Option+arrow keys to move the VoiceOver cursor (black rectangle) to a tool item in the Eclipse tool bar.
- VoiceOver should speak the name of the tool item (which is the same as the tooltip).

This works on Carbon, but I believe I had to just make tool items speak their tooltip (since most applications - including Eclipse - just use the same string for the tooltip and the tool item's accessible name). I don't think I ever got the full SWT accessibility API working for tool items.

Code was there, but I was returning the tooltip text for the help attribute.
