Apparently, where is an error in CDT Ganymede/Mylyn configuration related to spell checking.
Next steps will fix it and enable full spelling capabilities:
Code: Select all
Export current Eclipse settings to some file using File/Export/General/Preferences.
In text editor find and replace/add the next line:
/instance/org.eclipse.ui.editors/spellingEngine=org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.spelling.DefaultSpellingEngine
to
/instance/org.eclipse.ui.editors/spellingEngine=org.eclipse.cdt.internal.ui.text.spelling.CSpellingEngine
Import settings back using File/Import/General/Preferences.
Once you made it, you can add words to your dictionary using standard Ctrl+1 shortcut.
