[news.eclipse.newcomer] How do you make the user dictionary work?

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to Eclipse 3.4 and thought I'd give spell checking a go. As quite a few words are missing from the dictionary, I'd like to set up a user dictionary so I can add these words in.

I've got a user-defined dictionary listed under Preferences | General | Editors | Text Editors | Spelling, and this file exists (with one word in it I added manually.)

Whenever I press Ctrl+1 on a misspelled word and choose Add to dictionary a message pops up saying "A user dictionary is needed to add words. Do you want to configure it now?" If I click yes it opens the window above with my user dictionary already entered in.

I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but if I click "Browse" to choose a different filename for the dictionary, the browse window opens up with no folder selected - the list of files is just blank. I have to manually choose a directory to start browsing from.

The filename is an absolute path: "/home/user/.eclipse/userdict"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Adam.
