For producing above results, many words were ignored in order to reduce false positives:
- words only consisting of uppercase letters and underscores
- words in CamelCase
- words with length <= 2
- all class, method, field, and parameter names, as well as package name components
- all words enclosed in <pre>...</pre>
The doclet uses a naive algorithm to ignore plurals of class names as well (...y -> ...ies, ...s -> ...ses, ... -> ...s)
In addition, I've manually put together a Classpath-specific dictionary. You can view the current version here:
http://cpx.sektor37.de/ignore.txt (2 K)
This dictionary is debatable, take it for what it is: a rough draft made up by a non-native speaker. Comments and corrections are welcome.
From above results, I filtered a list of obvious typos (and UK->US english replacements) and put together a tool which corrects these in all classpath sources - observing comment boundaries of course, so no code should be modified.
The replacement list is here: http://cpx.sektor37.de/replacements.txt (7 K)
The resulting patch for all classes in java.* and javax.* is here: http://cpx.sektor37.de/classpath-typos.patch.txt (312 K)
Apart from the obvious UK/US-english question, a couple of the replacements may be debatable, namely:
onscreen => on-screen
offscreen => off-screen
threadsafe => thread-safe
hightech => high-tech
systemwide => system-wide
I refrained from adding similar replacements for Java lingo like "subclassing" (cf ignore.txt) but I felt that at least the above are more correct with a hyphen.
If you have objections to to any of these replacement, let me know and I can prepare an updated patch.
A next step might be to pick up a suggestion from Thomas Zanders and build a simple interactive tool similar to a spellchecker in a text editor which, for each questionable word, shows the context in which it appears and asks for action (usual spellchecker approach: replace with suggestion a,b,c, replace with other string, ignore for now, always ignore, add to dictionary.)
I'd be happy to write such a tool, but I would probably not be the right person to operate it, not being a native speaker and all. Any volunteers?

PS: In case the misspelling "mispelled" in the description of KeyEvent.VK_SEPERATER was intended as a pun, I apologize for correcting it.
