Update Languagetool version about vim-grammarous HOT 11 CLOSED

I'll upgrade the default version to v3.4 and will close this issue 👍

from vim-grammarous.

Have you any update on possibly using Grammarous with the more recent versions of LanguageTool?

from vim-grammarous.

OK, I'll fix it later.

But you can try to specify the URL of language-tool as below.

let g:grammarous#jar_url = 'http://path/to/your/favorite/language-tools.zip'

LanguageTool version 3.2 was released, too.

But this version requires Java 8.
I have no idea that which version is more suitable as default.

Yes, I thought the same.

I must investigate which version is suitable for default value. At least OS X now uses Java8 by default.

@rhysd Maybe you can also determine which version is suitable by :if.
Abstract code is here:

let s:java_ver = matchstr(systemlist('java -version')[0], 'version "\zs.*\ze"')
if s:is_greater_than(s:java_ver, 1.8)
    let g:grammarous#jar_url = <LanguageTool 3.2>
elseif s:is_greater_than(s:java_ver, 1.7)
    let g:grammarous#jar_url = <LanguageTool 3.1>
else
    ...
endif

I don't think Java version is problem (sorry for confusing). I think I can limit Java version >= 8 for vim-grammarous.

What I must investigate is that major version update (3.0) doesn't break vim-grammarous. If vim-grammarous can work with LanguageTool 3.0+, I will update the URL and update Java version requirement to 8.

from vim-grammarous.

Although default version is old, you can specify g:grammarous#jar_url to use latest version of LanguageTool. Did you try that?

from vim-grammarous.

Just specified latest languagetool jar url and everything works just fine!
