> Why is there no default integration of the "LanguageTool" in LibreOffice?

It would not be integrated, but rather would be "bundled"

Several reasons we don't:

-- Requires a Java Runtime

-- The .oxt extension is just a facet of the general Language Tool project,
with its own development and support effort

-- Size, at 67MB it is too large to build and bundle

-- LGPL v2.1 license

Also, no compelling need for it. Users that want more than the bundled
lightproof can build with Language Tool, or download the .oxt extension.

>From the source readme [1]:
Style and grammar checker for various languages written in Java, from
[http://www.languagetool.org/]

Shipping this is a compile-time option for LibreOffice, but our
downloadable builds use the light-weight lightproof grammar checker
instead to avoid the Java bootstrapping performance issues.
