We today had a very strange problem with the tool: It crashed and an attempt to restart lead to the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: dictionary file is supposed to be named *.dict: '../hunspell-dictionaries-for-languagetool/af_ZA/af_ZA.dic'
at org.languagetool.server.HTTPServerConfig.addDynamicLanguages(HTTPServerConfig.java:301)
at org.languagetool.server.HTTPServerConfig.parseConfigFile(HTTPServerConfig.java:273)
at org.languagetool.server.HTTPServerConfig.<init>(HTTPServerConfig.java:135)
at org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer.main(HTTPServer.java:140)
A second attempt 15 min later and the service started without problems (?)
We are using Version 4.9 and add hunspell dictionaries in our startup call
