Eclipse: how to selectively disable spell check in certain comments
eclipse, java, spell-checking
Solution
There is not a way to turn off spell checking for a comment. You've either got words in there or you don't. You can, however, add what's been flagged as a misspelling to your own user dictionary, in which case that particular word will be ignored.
Problem
I am using Eclipse, Kepler version. How do I disable the spell checking inside comments? I do see "Window | Preferences | General | Editors | Text Editors | Spelling", but this sheet has no option about disabling spell checking inside comments. Ideally, I would like to disable spell checking for a specific comment. In other places spell checking comments can be useful. Additionally, I did see the other referenced solution, which I am using and did use, but I did not want to disable spell checking for good. I wanted to turn off spell checking in certain situations but leave it on for others. That was addressed in a comment, so if the negative vote was because my question was addressed elsewhere, then it was not.
