Exactly, I'd like to see a languagetool plugin too. This is why I keep
trying to call Elixir a grammar / style checker and not just grammar
checker.
And to clarify, Elixir will be a platform agnostic library, just like
Enchant, but for grammar/style checking. Sonnet, however is the
language parsing/checking framework for KDE4 which will use both
Enchant and Elixir as as a backend tools. Sonnet will also include
classes for parsing text into relevant segments, looking up unicode
properties and multi-threaded background checking.
Does anybody know if languagetool can be compiled with gcj? It seems to me
that it would provide a better plugin than managing an external java
process. How is Zemberek (Turkish spellcheck) dealt with in Enchant?
It is also java based.
Happy 2007
