Programming with speech recognition has been done before - with very convincing results: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI How you could get started mostly depends on what exactly you want to achive: Do you just want to control the IDE or do you want to actually code? The first one is obviously easy, the latter on a bit more tricky but mostly doable. How much time do you have to spent on this (manmonths)? Do you have experience with speech recognition? What is your target programming language (the one in which the user should code - I'm guessing Java since you mentioned eclipse)? I saw you posting something similar about Dasher to gnome-a11y. Are you simply trying to compare different open source a11y solutions or are you considering a multi-modal approach?
