Offhand there are a number of possibilities:

(1) Port LanguageTool to C++. Work++, cleanliness++

(2) Embed the jvm in AbiWord. Will probably take some memory and time
to start up. Also depends on the jvm being installed.

(3) Create a .so/.dll from LanguageTool and link it with the
cooresponding AbiWord plugin. "gcjh" can be used to generate header
files of LanguageTool. Must then link against libgcj.
