Spellcheck Issue involving HTML [message #511263]

Sun, 31 January 2010 19:30

I was wondering if anyone is aware of a way that I can get the Eclipse spellchecker to ignore (or accept) the following in a comment?

/**
* This class generates the references for a résumé.
*
* @version 2.0
*/

I'm trying to include the word "resume" (i.e. a description of the work you have done and the job you are seeking) with the accute accents that are properly found in the word.

The comment is generated correctly but the spellchecker doesn't like this at all. It reacts to the é and offers to put it in the dictionary but this only fixes the problem for this specific source file. I have several source files that have a similar comment and each time I open one of them, it's as if the é is not in the dictionary.

I have checked the dictionary and é IS there but it doesn't help. I also tried adding résumé to the dictionary manually but that doesn't work either.

I've turned off spellchecking altogether to avoid this issue but I'd rather find a solution that lets me have this construction in my comments WITHOUT generating a spelling error.

I am using Eclipse Gallileo.

This is not a spell checker bug but rather looks like the encoding is
wrong. You should first fix your setup, so that the 'é' appears and not
the placeholder '?'.

I'd love to see the actual e with the acute accent in it rather than "eacute;"

How do I modify the Eclipse settings to do that?

The person who entered the 'é' uses a different encoding than you do.
Best would be that this person sets the encoding on the project and
shares it via repository (e.g. CVS). If you don't know where the file
came from and the project isn't shared, you could try to set the
project's encoding to either UTF-8 or Cp1252.

The project's encoding is changed by selecting the project and then File
(or context menu) > Properties.

As it turns out, I already had a default encoding of cp1252 for the whole workspace. All I had to do was retype that text using e with an acute accent, then add resume (with two accute accents) to the spelling dictionary.

Problem solved. Thanks for your help, Dani!
