Hi Lóránd,
I managed to install latest version and it seems to work somewhat, but not completely.
I am using an Italian dictionary taken from OpenOffice.
At first sight I have two malfunctions:

1) it doesn't recognize truncated articles ("l'ora", "nell'urna", etc.) and flags the first part (before the aphstrophe) as error.

2) the "Spell proposal" ia always empty.

Can You divine what I'm doing wrong?

@Mauro Hunspell4Java extends Eclipse Spell Checking mechanism. So my plugin should work out-of-box for any editor prepared for Eclipse Spell Checking. Check out these blog entries:

Thanks.
I’m waiting for a working version for eclipse and some usage guidelines.
I do not think licensing will be a problem since I plan to release it as Open Source ASAP. Most likely it will be straight GPL. Is that a problem?

@Mauro
I’m having some issues with the JNA Bindings and Eclipse packaging. I hope I’ll resolve it in few days.

Naturally you can use my plugin, just name the license you need. – But do not forget that this plugin uses Hunspell and JNA Bindings for Hunspell, – both licensed under LGPL and Hunspell under MPL 1.1.

I am having the same problems installing, but I’m under windows (vista) so Your hunspell4eclipse-8.1-beta-dropin.tar.gz “Hunspell4Eclipse 0.8.1 beta for Linux x86 dropins version” doesn’t help me

Reason for my interest is I’m writing an RCP app that includes a TextEditor and I would like to provide spelling services.
Can I use You spelling engine? If so: do You have any example code for that?

I’ve just uploaded a tar.gz to download section (http://code.google.com/p/hunspell4eclipse/downloads/list). Just download, tar xzf and copy the eclipse folder into dropins/eclipse and start eclipse.
I’m still having issues with site and p2… :-/

It works great! Thanks for your effort!

ps: there is a small typo in the link you provide, there is an unnecessary bracket at the end

Thx, typo fixed.

@András I'm having some problems with generating the site. Shortly I provide a download, which should be dropped in the dropins folder. Stay tuned...
