Hi!

Can anybody tell me what would this method return on standard Eclipse
3.1 setup:

public static URL getDictionaryLocation() throws MalformedURLException {
final JavaPlugin plugin= JavaPlugin.getDefault();
if (plugin != null)
return plugin.getBundle().getEntry("/" +
DICTIONARY_LOCATION); //$NON-NLS-1$

return null;
}

Where DICTIONARY_LOCATION is "dictionaries/".

That depends on whether you have imported the JDT UI plugin into your
workspace and are running in self-hosting mode.
If you have just installed Eclipse and are calling this method from one of
your plugins, this method returns a URL to a JAR entry (the JDT UI plugin is
a single JAR). If you have imported JDT UI into your workspace and are
running an Eclipse Application, this will give you a file URL to the
"dictionaries" directory in the org.eclipse.jdt.ui plugin project.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.

This method is called from Eclipse JDT itself (or I at least think so).

I would like to discover where does Eclipse spelling looks for the
dictionaries. So I looked into the source code and found in:

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.spelling.SpellCheckEngine

class that it looks into the directory returned by getDictionaryLocation
for them.

So then it is returning the URL to a JAR? But where does
DICTIONARY_LOCATION then come into account?

I have to correct myself. Obviously the method does not return a URL to a
JAR entry, but to the directory where the JAR'ed plugin is located. So the
same is true as with the self-hosting case: Just put your dictionary into a
subdirectory "dictionaries" of the plugin directory. Remember to use the
correct format for the dictionary name (language_COUNTRY.dictionary)

Cheers

I have tried but it does not work. I have created "dictionaries"
directory in the "plugins" directory. And there I created a list of
words with "en_UK.dictionary" filename. Eclipse just does not recognize
it.

You must not add it to the plug-ins directory but to the
'org.eclipse.jdt.ui' plug-in because that's the one who contributes the
spelling engine (Eclipse allows more than one engine).

I have added the "dictionaries" directory to the jar and it still does
not find it. I tryed with creating "org.eclipse.jdt.ui_3.1.0" directory
in "plugins" and put it there but with no luck.

I will probably wait until Eclipse ships the dictionary by itself.

This works for me using R3.1. Make sure you use all lower case for the
file, e.g. dictionaries/de_ch.dictionary.
Note: The easiest for you is to simply assign your dictionary as user
dictionary.
