    Eclipse 3.2, ME 5.0.1GA(Pro)

    ME is now hooking into the Eclipse spell checker. I don’t mean to sound insulting, but has anyone actually tested this feature? From a strict technical viewpoint it does work. But:

    Every file type which ME has an editor for now shows almost everything as not spelt correctly. For instance, in the web.xml file, out of 880 lines I have 1,250 spelling warnings. Things like <servlet> and </servlet>, not to mention the servlet names.

    In JSP files all the Java variable names, imports, most tags, tag properties, Javascript, …..

    The files are a mass of spelling warnings. And I cannot find an ME setting to turn this off.

    So I either turn off the speller globally, add every variable/ method name, tag, etc to the dictionary. or live with all the warnings.

    ME is now hooking into the Eclipse spell checker.

    I’m not aware of any official testing ever done with the spellchecker turned on, this is the first report we’ve ever *gotten* for spellchecker problems that I recall off hand. However, if there is a problem here, I will report it to the team. The first-past quick fix might be to disable it for our editors, and at a later date work in options for telling it what to check and what not to check. But for now the most likely workaround we would implement is turning it off for our editors.

    Ok. ME 4.x did not do this.

    To filter out what is checked and what is not would require something other than the default “look into the quotes” as things like

    <td id="<%= CSSID %>">

    will cause an incorrect warning.

    Thanks.

    I can’t find any resolution to this in the forums. I’m having the same problem – how do I turn off spell checking for the MyEclipse HTML and XML editors (and probably others)? Every tag and many attributes are flagged as spelling errors. I can’t use this standard Eclipse feature when I use MyEclipse because of it.

    The checker is under Window > Prefs > General > Editors > Text Editors > Spelling

    I know where it is, what I want is to use it without it flagging all my HTML and XML markup as spelling errors. I’ve installed a good dictionary file, but I want to have the MyEclipse editors excluded from checking, or else fixed so markup isn’t flagged as spelling problems.

    Sorry I misunderstood your request, there isn’t a workaround at this time for the spell checker and our editors.
