Build Identifier: 

IN the release information - in this case for 3.6.2 - graphics are used to display sample code instead of simple text. That makes it impossible for blind users to read the examples! I am not sure if this also applies to older releases. 
For an example take a look at: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/eclipse-news-part2.html#JavaFormatter

Reproducible: Always

Affects all doc but mainly affected area is probably What's New and Tips and Tricks.

We are now avoiding use of images for sample code in the release notes. We won't be going back and fixing up the notes from previous releases though.
