This looks like the most intriguing route. However, after installation
of the plugin, I get the following error:

java -jar /Users/chrislott/Dropbox/apps/unix/languagetool/LanguageTool.jar
-c utf-8 -d WHITESPACE_RULE,EN_QUOTES -l en --api /var/f
olders/y3/tfx06t6d0kx425gqyhrgv4nw0000gp/T/v6Jgs8o/0] failed with error: 1

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Not sure what it is. That seems to be a problem with
the installation of LanguageTool or Java, but not with Vim.
Anyway, does this work for you from the shell command
line for example:

$ echo "This is is a test." | \
   java -jar languagetool//dist/LanguageTool.jar -l en-US

Expected text language: English (US)
Working on STDIN...
1.) Line 1, column 6, Rule ID: ENGLISH_WORD_REPEAT_RULE
Message: Possible typo: you repeated a word
Suggestion: is
This is is a test.
     ^^^^^        
Time: 104ms for 1 sentences (9.6 sentences/sec)

By the way, spell checking with LanguageTool only
happens if the region is selected. In other word with
language en-US or en-UK (but not with "en").
In Vim setting:  :spelllang=en_us  should be enough
for the plugin to pass the right language to LanguageTool.

not to interupt the original thread, but after testing this myself in my
ubuntu 64bit, I got compile error and build also failed. This turns out
to be not VIM related...

google "/home/ping/bin/languagetool/build.xml:318: Unable to find a
javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath." gave me a lot of
matching, looks a common issue, but none of them tell me how to fix
exactly.
