In Eclipse Oxygen with CDT I can configure spell checking for most file types under
Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Spelling
However for XML files, which are apparently opened in the "Structured Text Editor", I can not find such an option.
Is this hidden somewhere or covered by a good plug-in?
Update
The user guide mentions spell-checking for "Structured Text Editor", but that does not match the actual UI; neither "Window > Preferences > Spell Check" exists as described nor "Edit > Spell Check":
EDIT: Seems to be a known bug / feature request:
Possibly installing Java tooling on top would fix.
NOT HELPING:
The eclipse help has an article on this: http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.wst.sse.doc.user%2Ftopics%2Ftsrcedt010.html
Also Eclipse should have an "Open With" context menu entry by which you could open as a text file, and have spell check.
