How do I enable spell checking in Eclipse 3.2 and older?
On Eclipse versions earlier than 3.3, the spell checking must be set up manually. Spell checking is supported in the task editor for local tasks and for connectors that support rich editing (e.g. Bugzilla, Trac). • To install spell checking for editors that support it you need to enable the preference in General → Editors → Text Editors → Spelling. • You also need to install a dictionary, some instructions are here. A word list is available [here] as well.
