Apple have a spell-checking api. It only works on OS X, but they supply a

your spell checker shared API with Apple's.
Neat idea. The current API is for spell checking a single word, the Apple API is a somewhat higher level, with parsing words from text and dictionary management. I don't think however a com.apple.spell package would be tolerated in the ASF repository by either Apple ot the board.
Actually, our company has developed an open-source generic spell checking API (under an Apache/MIT-like license, I believe), in the same spirit as Commons Logging. Currently it has backends for Wintertree and Jazzy. Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure if the Jazzy one was ever written. But it certainly has a Wintertree backend. If you're interested, we could donate this to Jakarta without much problem, and it would be possible to write additional drivers for your spelling API and for Apple's.
