Version ###VERSION###, ###DATE###
Homepage: http://www.languagetool.org

Requirements:
 -Java 6.0 or later (Sun/Oracle Java or IcedTea; GIJ is not supported)
 -For OpenOffice.org integration, OpenOffice 3.0.1 or later.

Usage:
 -To integrate LanguageTool into OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice, you
  can use two methods:
 
 1. Double-click LanguageTool-###VERSION###.oxt. The extension should
  start installing. Follow the on-screen instructions.
 
 2. If the above method doesn't work, call Tools > Extension 
  Manager > Add... in OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice and browse for the
  LanguageTool-###VERSION###.oxt file. 
  
  Close and restart OpenOffice.org Writer. Remember to close the
  OpenOffice.org QuickStarter as well if you use it. Type text with 
  an error, e.g. "This is an test." - make sure the text language 
  is set to English for this example.
  You should see a blue underline under the word "an". Opening
  the context menu with the right mouse button offers you a
  description of the error and, if available, a correction.
  
  Note that there will also be a new menu item "LanguageTool"
  under the "Tools" menu which you might need to use if 
  on-the-fly checking doesn't properly work. If the native
  spelling and grammar dialog doesn't check grammar, make
  sure that the check box "Check Grammar" is checked in it
  (if the window closes because of no mistakes in the document,
  simply make any spelling mistake to make it open for a longer
  time, and check the box). Check also if LanguageTool is visible
  under "Grammar" in Tools > Options > Language Settings > Spelling
  for your language. Note: you can disable the grammar check without
  uninstalling LanguageTool simply by clearing the check box next to
  LanguageTool in the same dialog.
  
  Please see http://www.languagetool.org/#commonproblems if you
  experience problems
  
 -To use the simple demo GUI, first rename the .oxt file
  to zip, then unzip it to a new directory and double click on 
  the LanguageToolGUI.jar file or call
  java -jar LanguageToolGUI.jar

 -To check plain text files from the command line:
  java -jar LanguageTool.jar <filename>

------------------------------------------------ 

Using LanguageTool from .NET:

 Thanks to IKVM (http://www.ikvm.net/) you can easily turn LanguageTool
 into a .NET exe or dll (without the GUI and the OpenOffice.org integration).
 You will need a fairly recent version of IKVM that uses OpenJDK to make it work.
 Just adapt these commands to you local path names (this example shows using mono):

 export MONO_PATH=/path/to/ikvm/bin
 mono /path/to/ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -target:library -r:/path/to/ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll libs/###stempelator.lib###
 mono /path/to/ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -target:library -r:/path/to/ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll libs/jWordSplitter.jar
 mono /path/to/ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -r:/path/to/ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll -r:###stempelator.lib### -r:jWordSplitter.dll LanguageTool.jar

 However, the resulting LanguageTool.exe has not been tested much yet. You can expect
 problems with resource loading (path names are not recognized properly).
