Spell checking for Eclipse.

Post by fanat9 »

More related to Eclipse/CDT by itself, but just in case someone need it.

Apparently, where is an error in CDT Ganymede/Mylyn configuration related to spell checking.
Next steps will fix it and enable full spelling capabilities:

Code: Select all

Export current Eclipse settings to some file using File/Export/General/Preferences.
In text editor find and replace/add the next line:
/instance/org.eclipse.ui.editors/spellingEngine=org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.spelling.DefaultSpellingEngine
to
/instance/org.eclipse.ui.editors/spellingEngine=org.eclipse.cdt.internal.ui.text.spelling.CSpellingEngine
Import settings back using File/Import/General/Preferences.
Also, you can specify your personal dictionary file to have possibilities to add exclusion from spell checking.
Once you made it, you can add words to your dictionary using standard Ctrl+1 shortcut.

In which you exported Eclipse settings on previous step.
