adding words to eclipse Luna spell checker dictionary

Tags:

eclipse

I find no way of adding a spell-checker highlighted word, to the spell-checker's dictionary. Is that still possible with eclipse Luna? there used to be a small popover window for doing that....

(I also tried adding a user defined dictionary empty file in preferences, didn't help).

The answer by ArchiFloyd is obviously the correct one. I just wanted to add that "clicking ctrl+1 while on a spell-check-highlighted word" was the magic part for me. If I highlight a word highlighted for misspelling, double-click (or highlight with the keyboard), and then hit CTRL+1 I can see the option to add the word to the dictionary. In various editors (like WikiText), this is the only way I've seen to add a word to the dictionary on the fly.
