I think Michael Kirby has made the best categorization so far. There is
a use for spell check, but it's cost of development appears to outweigh
it's immediate benefit. I also agree with the others who think that the
open api is the place for this kind of functionality to reside. So, for
all of the spell check fanatics: you're all developers yourselves, what
are you prepared to do to get it? Come up with the spell check api and
explore the bridging software on your own. Do the research, figure out
what kind of functionality several 3rd party checkers would require then
submit your api proposals. Look into what it would take on IntelliJ's
part to provide a view of JavaDoc comments that a spell checker could
make sense of. Until someone can prove that the return on investment for
this feature is not as high as it seems, the guys at IntelliJ should do
no work on that portion of their open api (if it's there at all). It's
up to you to hash out some of the gory details.
