I'm a new user to Eclipse (Juno) with SUSE 11 Linux,I am looking for specifying a user defined dictionary so that I can stop all the "Trolltech" and "Qt" references in my Qt projects showing up as spelling errors, without turning off all spell checking.

I found following instructions online, I select Window | Preferences | Editors | Text Editors | Spelling and get a panel including a field in which to specify a user defined dictionary. I gather all this needs to be, is a text file. I have tried two variations for this:

As root,

  1. created an /opt/eclipse/dictionary/dictionary.txt file, file permissions set 777 but higher level directories 755s
  2. created a /dictionary/dictionary.txt file, both directory and file permissions set 777.

I have at this point, in each case,

  1. specified the full (absolute) path to one of these files in the "User defined dictionary" field,
  2. clicked either Apply | OK to set the path, or just OK, exiting the dialog
  3. seen no change in the Eclipse editor, which still shows these terms as misspellings
  4. at the level of the project, attempted Refresh of the project from the right-mouse popup menu
  5. tried re-indexing at the level of the project using Index | Rebuild from the right-mouse popup menu
  6. tried refreshing files at the level of the project using Index | Freshen All Files from the right-mouse popup menu (no reason to believe that either of steps 5 or 6 will help, but I'm basically trying everything that seems available to be tried)
  7. closed and re-opened the project
  8. closed and re-opened the IDE.

When I restart the IDE and go back into Window | Preferences, etc., the panel shows the dictionary text file I've specified AS specified, but there seems t
