Hello World, I needed a grammar checker to correct my phd thesis. I'm using Texlispe (Latex plugin for Eclipse) to write it, so I wrote a plugin adding language tool as a spell checker for Eclipse.
At first I thought of mimicking the output of Aspell to replace the Aspell binary file to use a custom made script. But then I thought it would be better to write a plugin for Eclipse. I spend my Sunday afternoon on it and it works. It's far from perfect but it works well. The main issue I had, beside not knowing how to make an Eclipse plugin, was to make the resources and rules files available for the libs as the plugin runs as a jar file. I had to package the org/ folder in a jar file and extend the default resource broker to resolve the path to it. What works: - grammar checking in default text editor (texlispe latex editor seems to desactivate the Eclipse wide spell checker) - the only option is the language selection ( window -> preference -> general -> editors -> text editors -> Spelling ) What doesn't work: - spellchecking in latex editor - ignoring code related text Known bug: - the cursor jumps to the wrong position when applying suggestion (easy to fix) To do: - add more options to the preferences page If you're interested I can provide everything about it (details, code, binaries, support ...). I'll just look for a place to host everything, right now it's on my home server but it hasn't got a large bandwith and the plugin is quite heavy (70mb). Here is the binary for now: http://remisoft.ath.cx/downloads/LanguageTool-Plugin.zip To install it just copy the jar into your Eclipse's install folder, in its plugins folder. To activate spellchecking go to "window -> preference -> general -> editors -> text editors -> Spelling". In the menu make sure you selected "LanguageTool". You can also set the language to use there. Best regards, Rémi
