Eclipse spell checking [message #94894] Mon, 15 August 2005 10:19 Go to next message

Hello,

I am working on a team currently containing more or less 10 developers.
Most of theses developers have a bad english and write their javadoc and
their output messages with lots of mistakes.

So i searched for a plugin for eclipse that does spellchecking. After 20
minutes, i realized that, as you know, eclipse comes with a spellchecker.

So, i would like to use it but i cannot find information anywhere about
how it works. I tried the integrated help and searched over the net but I
cannot find really useful information.

Can somebody explains me how to use the spellchecker (I can provide
dictionnaries, for example, but what is the file format, where can I find
dictionnaries (tried files coming from aspell but it doesn't work by the
way), how is the integration performed, where can i hope to see it work,
and so on.

This would really help me and my team performing better job.

Thank you in advance for all help you can provide,

Jerarckill

P.S: Since i don't know if i will receive a mail upon thead update, can
you send me an email directly if it is not the case? Thanks

Hi

You just need a word list in a plain text format that has one word per
line. You can find wordlists at: wordlist.sourceforge.net

Then open the preferences "Window > Preferences...", browse to "General
> Editors > Text Editors > Spelling". Enable it and select you file as
user defined dictionary.

I personally use a mix of different scowl dicationaries and it works
well so far. The spell checker is not as advanced as an i/aspell or what
you are used to from word processing programs. It more or less compares
every word with the word list.

Hope this helps
