Eclipse Spell Checker?

[Kahuna]

Has anyone managed to get the Eclipse spell checker to work?

I have it activated and using a txt file as the dictionary (one word per row) but the checker does not seem to be active?

Is there something in particular about Serclipse that might prevent the built in Eclipse functionality working?

It works with the CFEclipse plugin, Java, JavaScript, JavaProperties, XML, HTML, JSP, and PHP.

This is what I noticed.
That might mean it does not work with the Servoy editor...

@Marcel - thanks for that feedback.

I know you've been working with / testing Servoy 5 Marcel. Is that now a Plugin for Eclipse, or is it still a hybrid Serclipse set-up. Can you now add other Eclipse plugins to the IDE without causing havoc in the Servoy editor? There are a number of spell check plugins available - but I wouldn't want to break Servoy again .

Are you using 5 for production development yet Marcel - or still sand boxing it?

Appreciate hearing your experiences with it.

I have certainly not yet seen it as a plugin and, as far as I know there is no plugin yet.

I don't think it will make much difference when Servoy is distributed as a plugin. Basically it is already a plugin. The only issue we will always bump into is the fact that the plugins you want to use will work with/support the editor, language etc that you want to work with. That is also the case with all other languages like Java.

Sandboxing, simply because I did not yet have the time to put Servoy 5 to an extensive test yet.

@Marcel - thank you my friend - good feedback as always!

Hi Ian,

I know you've been working with / testing Servoy 5 Marcel. Is that now a Plugin for Eclipse, or is it still a hybrid Serclipse set-up.

So far I have not seen plugins causing havoc on Servoy. Eclipse updates however I have seen do damage though, so be careful with that.
Also a new rule, don't rename your application file!!. Pre Eclipse 3.5 (Servoy 5 uses it) we already knew we shouldn't rename the directory once we installed Servoy in it but at least you could change the executable name without problems, now however it will kill your configuration. It will launch fine the first time but on a relaunch it's effectively dead. So much in the config files are (wrongly) changed that a reinstall is easier than to fix it.
And yes, it's an Eclipse thing. Not Servoy.

I've been testing 5 since the first beta and since beta 4 I have been moving projects over to 5 and been actively developing in it.
I am not running anything in production yet, just developing with the new features and I must say I love this release.
It's such a step forward on so many levels.

That one is indeed a bitch!
Makes my nice setup with different names for different instances of Servoy less intuitive once they are running

Excellent feedback - thanks Guys.

As a follow-on - has anyone had success with a spell checker for Serclipse (4X primarily - but soon 5).

[Kahuna]

Is there a spell checker (for properties in Developer) known to work with Serclipse 4X / 5?
