adding words to eclipse Luna spell checker dictionary

eclipse

Solution

It is possible to add a user dictionary. If you go to `window`->`preferences`:

Afterwards go to `general`->`Editors`->`Text Editors`->`Spelling` there is a file input box called `User defined dictionary`

You can create a regular .txt file with one word per line, that will become "ignored" by the editor. My example file is shown below (I've created mine in notepad on windows):

When entering the user defined dictionary, I get the ability to add the word to the dictionary when i hold my mouse pointer over the word that is marked. Alternatively, clicking ctrl+1 while on a spell-check-highlighted word, will show the option to do so:

I have tested it in my Eclipse Luna setup, and that seems to work perfectly. I'm using Eclipse Luna (64 bit) version 4.4.1.

EDIT: I just tried using pydev in eclipse. In a python project I don't get the popup, where i can click "add to dictionary" however, putting the words in the file still works for me.

Problem

I find no way of adding a spell-checker highlighted word, to the spell-checker's dictionary. Is that still possible with eclipse Luna? there used to be a small popover window for doing that.... (I also tried adding a user defined dictionary empty file in `preferences`, didn't help).
