The only important missing environment is Win x86-64; perhaps Linux ARM (i.e., mobile) may be useful. Hunspell should build on most major platforms, so it's more a question of gaining access to such a build environment. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

Better with Java Web Start ? Arne

I'm guessing that you're asking for recommendations from users of Java spell-check libraries rather than references to the same. I don't have recommendations, but a web search reveals a seeming abundance of FOS Java spell-check libraries. One that caught my eye, in fact the first hit for java+spell+check was Jazzy. Are there some FOS Java spell-check libraries that you are certain you will not use?

Correct. GIMF. I found a few references, but I have never utilized such a library, so I'm not sure which features might be useful or which APIs are mature. > > I don't have recommendations, but a web search reveals a seeming > abundance of FOS Java spell-check libraries.
