--- Comment #2 from Michael Meeks <[email protected]> ---
We have code to do that in-place; -but- the use of Java presents rather
significant challenges across platforms - in Windows Java is frequently not
present - and the user experience is then riddled with "non functioning JRE"
dialogs when the user types text.

Furthermore - the cost of loading languagetool, its powerful dictionaries,
checkers and JITting them is/was very significant. I've seen 5+ second hangs of
LibreOffice when the user first types a string (or a document is loaded and
needs checking the first time).

I forget if there were other reasons we disabled it by default but - the
primary problem was the weight and other problems related to Java - which are
also reasons why we've systematically converted Java -> python for what we ship
- since we ship a python interpreter. Languagetool however is not interested
(for quite good reasons IMHO) in a similar move to python - python is not ideal
for everytthing.
