This is a rule-based language checker that will find errors for which a rule is defined in its XML configuration files.

It does not include spell checking.Installation and Usage:- In OpenOffice.org (only OpenOffice.org 2.0 has been tested): Do not unzip the archive, just call Tools -> Package Manager -> Add... to install LanguageTool-0.8.2.zip. Open a new window of OpenOffice.org (Ctrl-N) and you'll see a new menu entry "LanguageTool" that will check the current text.- Without OpenOffice.org: Unzip the archive and start LanguageToolGUI.jar by double clicking on it. If your computer isn't configured to start jar archives, start it from the command line using java -jar LanguageToolGUI.jar. LanguageTool.jar is the command line checker for plain text files.Known bugs: LanguageTool 0.8 was the first release with support for OpenOffice.org so there will be bugs. Requirements: · Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment · OpenOffice.org What's New in This Release: · Fixed a NullPointerException that could appear when using paragraph-level rules (#2787814) · Initial support for Icelandic · More Dutch, English, Polish, Romanian and Slovenian grammar rules · Fixed some bugs with pairing brackets · Added sentence tokenizer that uses SRX format for specifying end-of-sentence breaks
