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:

Hunspell4Eclipse

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.

Please Wellcome Jaunty!

No Gravatar

Today is a great day! New release of Ubuntu is here!

Version 9.04 named Jaunty Jackalope is here. Go to getubuntu and fetch it while it’s hot. ;-)

This is a good moment to remember myself why I love Ubuntu:

  • No viruses, ad-ware, X-ware (you name it)
  • Stable, fast, pretty, neat, user-friendly, open, diversified, complete, easy, free, …
  • Great for office, music, photo, art, software development, Internet, collaboration, …
  • Great community, helpful people – support I’ve always dreamed about

I could go on… but this is more than enough.

Great job! Thanks to You, as we all made this happen! And of course special hug to Ubuntu Team!

p.s.: Yes, sometimes I criticize Ubuntu, but that is just because I believe it can be better, nicer, more user-friendly, etc.. In those cases please do not misunderstand me, I love Ubuntu, I love Linux, I love OpenSource!

New photo blog

No Gravatar

As this blog is a bit schizophrenic – a mixture of software development articles and photography related articles and content – I decided to move all the photography related writings and pictures to a new blog, which could be found at http://photols.com.

Existing articles won’t be moved. Already publish photos will be selectively copied.

So from now on, this site will be primary software development centric.

I hope this will produce a cleaner picture…

Croatia 2008 part II: Pazin, Rovinj, Cres and around

No Gravatar

This is the second part about our holiday at Istria, Croatia.

While we were at Rabac, we made few excursion to the vicinity. We visited Pazin. An old town with lots of sightseeings. The town was nice, but you could sense the duality between the old town, old culture and a somewhat newer industrial city. You can still catch the smell of old Jugoslavia, the communist (or if you prefer socialist) one. As if the time stoped. This was not nearly what we saw at the seaside. Even people were different.

Today is D day! Or at least for Bibble 5.

Today at Photokina Bibble Labs is about to introducing Bibble 5, with lots of new features.

Stay tuned, because (I think) this is going to make a big blast.

Eclipse P2 puzzle

No Gravatar

My frustration about Eclipse P2 from the last time grows…

I just wanted to add documentation for few plug-ins today. As usually those documentations are also plug-ins. P2 here we go…

Found the plug-ins in no time. Install…

And wait, wait, wait… (about 5-20 minutes!) while my eclipse is locked, as P2 is modal. Why? At least let me work while P2 figures out if those plug-ins would fit my installation.

Fortunately I can send the install part, – if everything is fine for P2, – to work in background, but that does not lasts so long usually.

As I learned so many times that things ain’t what they look like, I started to browse the Net (after 3h of cooldown). And I found a lot of pro and contra. There is even a recept how to replace P2 with UM.

Now as I retraced the whole thing one again, I can understand both parties. Developers are probably frustrated, while simple users are happy with it, – or at least will be…

I still do not feel P2 mature enough to replace UM (Update Manager), as there are missing features and obvious bugs.

Missing stuff:

  • Resolve dependencies automatically – there are a hell a lot of plug-ins, sometimes I just can’t gather myself what do I need. – You need to know the software you’re installing… – this is no good for simple users…
  • Show information about the plug-in and its dependencies. Instead of right click, properties…

I’m still frustrated, and I hope it is just because of the absence of the knowledge.

I still need to pull up my plug-ins for 3.4, so I’ll be learning soon… :-)
