Sigasi Studio supports spelling checking in comments and strings, but you need to install a spell checking plugin first. Next you need to download and configure a dictionary for your language.
Install Hunspell4Eclipse
Install the Hunspell4Eclipse plugin:
- Help > Install New Software …
- Enter this update site:
https://download.sigasi.com/updates/hunspell4eclipseand press enter - Select Hunspell4Eclipse > Hunspell4Eclipse
- Click Next > and Finish, and restart Sigasi
Install Dictionary
The Hunspell plugin does not include any bundled dictionaries. You need to install dictionaries separately.
You can download good dictionaries from the OpenOffice.org project, which also uses the Hunspell engine. There is a list of available dictionaries at https://extensions.openoffice.org/ .
The file you downloaded will have an .oxt extension. If you rename this extension to .zip, you can unzip it.
You need the .dic and .aff files for your language (e.g. en_US.aff and en_US.dic for American English).
Copy these files to a safe location (the dictionary file path).
Configure the Dictionary
Open the Spelling preference page: Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Spelling Next, enter the dictionary file path.
Update 2017-09
Hunspell4Eclipse was originally hosted on the Google Code Project Hosting Service.
Because this service was turned down in early 2016, we cloned the project’s code on
GitHub and made binaries available on
Sigasi’s download server (https://download.sigasi.com/updates/hunspell4eclipse).
Update 2018-06
If you already have hunspell installed on Linux, you can use the dictionary files from /usr/share/myspell/.
If Sigasi Studio is installed on a read-only file system, you might see permission errors when temporary files can’t be created. To avoid this, it is best to define a temporary directory for Java (-Djava.io.tmpdir=<path to tmp dir>), e.g. somewhere in the user home directory, and pass that when starting Sigasi Studio, either on the command line or through the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable.
