Turn off spell checking in Eclipse for good

Question

Every time I create a new workspace in Eclipse I have to turn off the spell checking via Preferences. (Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Spelling->Enable Spell Checking)

This is very irritating. How do I turn off the spell checking for good? I.e. the spell checker is disabled when I create a new workspace and I can turn it on should I want to use it.

Answer 1

It's not a perfect fix, but you can copy existing workspace preferences into any workspace. I keep a separate .epf (Eclipse preferences file, I guess) that I just import into every new workspace I create:

File → Import... → General → Preferences → Next > From preference file

Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Spelling Uncheck the box "Enable spell checking"
