Suggestions for spell checking HTML with Aptana plugin for Eclipse

Question

I'm using the Aptana plugin for Eclipse to do web development. Apparently spell checking is disabled in Aptana for performance reasons (see https://aptanastudio.tenderapp.com/discussions/questions/140-invoking-the-version-20-spell-checker).

Currently I drop to a shell and run a script that in turn runs aspell on all my *.html files, but occasionally I forget to do this before I publish. I've tried adding my script as an "external tools" command, but aspell doesn't behave nicely in an Eclipse console window. Besides, I still might forget to click it before a publish.

Ideally, I'd like to insert some sort of hook that would run this script before I trigger a file synchronize command, but I would appreciate any other suggestions to trigger an automatic spell check process.

Answer 1

My approach has been to publish using the command line only, that way I can sneak my spell check command in every time before I publish. I installed an "Open in Terminal" plugin for eclipse that makes it convenient to drop to a shell at the root of the web directory then execute this command.

I hope this is helpful to somebody.
