Hello there! I just installed this version of Eclipse SDK (2022-12) and immediately ran into spell check problems. For years, I have used older Eclipse IDEs, so I have a user dictionary set up with words commonly used in our environment.

Out of the box, the new spell checker dislikes the very common javadoc tag "@param". It claims the tag is misspelled. It displays the message with a space after the tag, like so: "@param ". Adding the tag to the user dictionary does not help. Not with an @, not without, not with a trailing space, and not without.

I do not want to turn off the spell check and neither do I want to ignore its warnings. What I want is for the spell checker to recognize that @param is a valid javadoc tag and stop harassing me about it.

How do I achieve that?
Thanks!

Funny this happens in some of my IDEs but not all of them. Even the quick fix is wrong where it sees " * @param target the object to adapt." in the source, underlining the "param " (note the trailing space that's underlines) and it suggests to change it to "* @paramtarget the object to adapt." which is completely wrong.

I suggest to open an issue here:

https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui/issues

And post a link to the issue in this thread.

First though, I suggest updating to 2023-03 later this afternoon (in about 8 hours) and checking if the problem occurs there because I think maybe it's fixed there...
