Following what Daniel wrote...

For the spelling part, make sure your source viewer configuration 
extends the TextSourceViewerConfiguration, which has spelling support. 
Make sure that you source view configuration is instantiated with the 
preference store gotten from TextEditor.getPreferenceStore(), which 
returns the preference store the for text editor.  So, when 
instantiating your source viewer configuration call 
super(IPreferenceStore thePrefStoreYouGot).

See TextEditorSourceViewerConfiguration.getReconciler(ISourceViewer 
sourceViewer) to know what I mean.  Set a breakpoint there to make sure 
your editor goes there.
