Spell checker

[Tamás]

I read on the web site that you are planning to add the spell checking
feature. Which solution are you planning to implement? I would
recommend Hunspell, http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/, which is based
on Myspell.

Okay, I know all about that and even have some code. Problems exist
for implementing it properly, given the code I have and the existence
of different versions of the spellchecking dictionaries for the
various languages. I am trying to find a way to have all the code in
Java, unlike the code I have which requires extra native C code
libraries to be distributed (that are only available for certain
versions of Linux, Mac OS X and Windows). Any other operating system
will not be able to use the spellchecking fully without the same
libraries.

So it is something I still have some experimenting to do on. Note that
others who have already implemented spellchecking with Hunspell from
Java seem to have users that experience problems with the
dictionaries. This is something I would really like to avoid before
ever putting out a version with spellchecking in it.

Hi, Raymond!

Understood :)

Telling you the truth, my original idea was to be able to use the
dictionaries available for Firefox and Thunderbird at
addons.mozilla.org. These dictionaries are maintained, at least the
Hungarian one is, and available ca. 100 of them, even 2 different ones
for several languages.

Cheers,

I will take a look. Thanks for the pointer.
