Description Lars Vogel

Eclipse standard has a spellcheck included. The following words should be included into the standard dictionary:

Google
Committer
classpath

Most likely this is the incorrect component, I'm sorry for this. Please move this bug to the right component.

Moved to text

Comment 2 Lars Vogel

Android and Git should also be included IMHO.

Comment 3 Lars Vogel

public static void main(String[] args) {
	
	Deck myCards = new Deck();
	System.out.println(myCards.deckOfCards);
	System.exit(0);

    }
Error: The word 'args' is not correctly spelled.

args is a Java reserved word that is commonly used in various training books.

Eclipse 3.7 is approaching rapidly. Is it planned to add these works to Eclipse 3.7? That would be nice.

Comment 17 Ralf Sternberg

serializable

Comment 18 Dani Megert

2011-05-24 06:04:04 EDT

Those are already in the dictionary:
equinox
Internet

I've added the following words:
android
combo
compressor
deactivate
decorator
decorators
deprecate
download 
google
Linux
mobile
registry
verbatim

The following words are not part of British and American dictionaries that we use as reference:
Committer
classpath
Git
multi
charset
runnables
refactor
refactoring
timestamp
lifecycle
servlet
args

I missed "callback" in that list.

Comment 21 Lars Vogel

Thanks for applying. Sorry to hear that the other words didn't make them into the directory.

I'm not sure if it makes sense to stick to "general purpose" dictionaries too strongly. Given that this is "the JDT dictionary" I think it makes sense to allow some domain-specific words from our domain (the domain of computing, and Java programming specifically).

I would be in favor of either finding some additional reference dictionary that includes such domain-specific words (I'm sure there is one on the Internet), or to judge ourselves when domain-specific words are added. Just throwing in an idea, words from the JDT User's guide ("refactor") could be used for instance...
