LanguageTool pluging for Eclipse

[disc_writes (Diego Schiavon)]

I would like to use LanguageTool from within Eclipse while editing XML.

I found an Eclipse plugin here:

GitHub - vogellacompany/languagetool-eclipse-plugin: Eclipse plug-in for...

I cannot get it to work, and I did not want to contact Vogella Company directly: this sort of things are bet kept public, I believe.

I tried to go the p2 update path, but the repository is not working (as reported).

I tried the Maven path, but the Maven repository seems to be down as well.

I then tried the manual part, as explained on the gitHub page and on this other thread:

Languagetool in a simple java application

I was originally trying to use Maven but have no experience with it and was getting multiple error messages. I started with a simple Hello World Maven app and then tried adding the dependency and code that the API suggests but still couldn’t get the program to compile. The last error it gives is MojoFailureException, which when you look up, tells me the problem is something with the plugin I am trying to use. I tried scrolling through errors to see the source of the problem but cannot even ge…

However, it is not really clear to me what I need to do. I:

• moved all jar files in \lib to a different folder
• made a jar of all files under \org
• added the jar to the folder with the other jars.

Now what? Is there a way to get the plugin to work, and how?

Note that I am working on Windows 7. It is not my intention to develop in Java: I only want to use LanguageTool as spellchecker within Eclipse.

Thank you,

Diego Schiavon

Maybe Issues · vogellacompany/languagetool-eclipse-plugin · GitHub would be a good place to send your bug report to in case you don’t get help here.
