<h1 align="left">Accessibility Status for Eclipse SDK 3.1.1</h1>
<p><b>Last update: August 8, 2005</b></p>
<p>The numbers in the Failures column indicate problem reports in the Eclipse 
  Bugzilla database (<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/">http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs</a>).<br>
  The bug database has other PRs marked with the keyword &quot;accessibility&quot;, 
  however these are minor and are not an issue in meeting the checklist requirements.<br>
