Eclipse Spell Checker

No Gravatar

Eclipse has a built in spell checker. It’s based on word list files. It is just fine for languages that does not use pre- and postfixes extensively. But for languages like Hungarian, it is a no go. – I’ve tried to generate a word list of Hungarian words, but when I noticed that the word list reached 35 GB (not a typo!) I’ve canceled the process. – Just imagine Eclipse loading 35+ GB of dictionary…

In my search for a spell checker for Eclipse I found eSpell, but eSpell is also a word list based engine, so that is a no go too. I left with no choice but to create one. So here it is:

Immature. In beta stage. Lot to do. But it works…

Plans

I’m planning to provide content sensitive checking for Java and XML. Actually my plan is to create extension points for that purpose, to provide possibility for others to contribute too.

Comments please

I hope you’ll enjoy the plug-in and that you found it worthy to comment.
