I think all the "Spell Checker ..." plugins have some internal naming problems. They all show up in the in the list of installed plugins, but also still in the list of available plugins in black color. I guess there are some naming problems that prevents IDEA from seeing that both plugins are the same one. This also makes it hard to see if there is an update for the plugin.

And if I try to install the German Dictionary, i get the message "Plugin Spell Checker Dictionary was not installed: Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch" The german part translated means "The syntax for the filename, directoryname or the volumename is wrong"

What remains is:
- the error when trying to install the German dictionary
- the naming problem or whatever it is

The naming problem is problem of IDEA, because it is confusing about plugin name "Spell Checker" and it id "SpellChecker".
