Description Peter Burka

Build ID: M20080911-1700 

The spellchecker in Eclipse flags the word "divisible" as misspelled, which it is not. Strangely, indivisible and indivisibleness are includes in the dictionary.

I've found the Eclipse dictionary to be missing many common words, such as "cancelled", and uncommon words such as "minuend".

Perhaps a more extensive word list could be used to source the dictionary?

Some more missing words I've found in our comments in a handful of files I picked at random:
- walkable
- unwalkable
- submanager
- compaction
- fragmentation
- enqueuing
- callback
- woken
- whilst
- recheck
- retune
- kickoff
- tenuring

The following words got added as part of bug 326872:
download
callback

I've also added:
divisible
upcoming
walkable
woken
kickoff
compaction
fragmentation
logarithmic
piggyback
nth
intermission


The other words are not part of British and American dictionaries that we
use as reference or they are "re-" prefixed ones, for which we probably need another solution to avoid duplication (file bug 346963 for that).
