com.jspell.domain.JSpellDictionaryManager

public class JSpellDictionaryManager
extends java.lang.Object

This class manages a collection of dictionaries for use by JSpell. This class is implemented as a singleton, meaning only one instance of this class may exist per virtual machine. To construct an instance of this class you must supply a parameter specifying the location of the JSpell dictionaries. JSpell dictionaries are identified by the extension .jdx. Dictionaries that are compatible with JSpell Pro start with lex_.
