How do I enable spell checking in Eclipse?

Question

Is there any way to enable code spell checking in Eclipse? I misspell words fairly often.

For example: void spllmstake() => void spellmistake()

Answer 1

I have found a spell checker and proved it (with your example), and it seems to work. Do the following steps:

• Download espell checker as zip file
• Call Help > Install New Software > Add... > Archive...
• Insert the path and file name of the zip file.
• Do the normal installation with restart
• Go to Window > Preferences > Spelling > AspectJ, Java, ...
• Ensure that Check Names is selected.

In your example, the word spllmstake is marked as wrong, as is spellmistake. spellMistake (like two words) works well.
