German Dictionary for Eclipse

This adds a German dictionary to the spelling engine from Eclipse JDT. It is based on the dictionary igerman98 (Version: 20161207) from Björn Jacke.

Requirements

Open Help > Install New Software and add a new repository with location https://oleosterhagen.github.io/update-site/
Install Germany Dictionary from this site.
Enable spell checking in Window > Preferences: General > Editors > Text Editors > Spelling
Choose Platform Dictionary: Deutsch (Deutschland)
⚠️ Ensure encoding is set to UTF-8 (on Linux, Mac) or CP1252 (on Windows).

The encoding is not stored in the dictionary (Eclipse Bug 262025) and must therefore be set correctly (see above). To minimize problems this dictionary is distributed as two OS specific plug-ins, one with encoding UTF-8 (Linux, Mac) and another with encoding CP1252 (Windows).
The spelling engine from Eclipse JDT uses a simple word list without a separate affix file. For German this results in a very large file with 364.814 words which must be kept in memory.
