What is the best Java spell checking API?
Free or purchased, must be royalty-free.
Just used Jazzy and it worked well. Try this example and download the dictionary.
Here's the Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jazzy</groupId>
<artifactId>jazzy</artifactId>
<version>0.5.2-rtext-1.4.1-2</version>
</dependency>
Sentry Spell Checker seems interesting. It supports dialog-based spell checking and as-you-type highlighting of misspelled words. It's a commercial product ($399 for the engine), but there are no royalty fees.
Jazzy is a simpler, open source alternative. It's been around for awhile, but doesn't seem to be under active development anymore. On the bright side, it is free (LGPL license).
I would look at Jazzy first to see if it fits your needs. There's a demo applet here where you can try it out.
There are a couple other I have heard of, but I don't know if they are any good.
Rapidspell and JTextCheck

I am looking for a free to use dictionary in as many spoken languages (english, french, german, ...) as possible.
basically i will need to check if a string exists in a dictionary.
i was thinking about the dictionaries used in firefox or openoffice, since they should be open-source, right? where can i find and download them?
also ideally exists a java library to access the data in the dictionary.
Unpack Debian's freedict packages.
There is a free dictionary available WordNet
Please check this site http://wordnet.princeton.edu/
To connect dictionary from java there are many api available. Some of them are.
http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jwordnet/
The Ubuntu Linux distribution comes with a plain English dictionary (words only). They are stored in
/usr/local/share/dict
I thought. Now I see palacsint his answer popping up. I think it are the same dictionaries.

Is there any tool that helps analyse code structure in a java project, either as an eclipse pluggin or as a standalone?
I guess something similar to what Structure101 seems to do, but I am looking for something free.
I.e. to visualize dependencies among jars, classes, class-hierarchies etc.
It is mostly to understand an existing code-base faster, rather than set coding rules or profile etc.
I've found the following tools useful
CodePro Analytics - http://code.google.com/javadevtools/codepro/doc/index.html
JDepend - http://www.clarkware.com/software/JDepend.html
Sonar - http://www.sonarsource.org/
Metrics - http://metrics.sourceforge.net/
you mean like Sonar?
Tons of them. The thing is you probably want to google for the kinds of tests, eg, "McCabe complexity java" or "test coverage java".
You might have a look at this wikipedia article.
Update
Aha. Try depfind.

I'm interested in JMonkey for some fun projects, but when I search Google to find tutorials and docs, I can only find either really basic and/or incomplete stuff, like these on http://jmonkeyengine.org/, or really specific ones. Do you know some "from beginner to expert" tutorial for JMonkey?
http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3 has a complete series of tutorials for jME3. They just haven't been accessible via google until now..
http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme2:jme2 has a series of tutorials for the now community-supported old jME2
Actually, the best I found is this one:
http://www.theprogrammersweblog.com/2008/12/3d-game-programming-in-java-using.html
It's incomplete (but maybe it will be completed someday), but 11 parts are already available.
The aim is to create a complete Asteroid game.

Any Java tutorial that resembles Mark Pilgrim's approach for DiveIntoPython?
What about the official Java Tutorial? I found it pretty helpful to get started with the language.
I haven't read Dive Into Python but I do know that Bruce Eckels Thinking In Java is an excellent book and well worth a look.
Be warned though - it's monster size and not easy to carry around!
I don't think there is anything like Dive into Python in the Java world. The Java language doesn't lend itself to the model of 'Check out what we can do with these 15 lines of code!'
Best approach would be to dive in yourself, pick a project, and use the tutorial and the docs. Many people will recommend Eckel's Thinking in Java but know that it is the polar opposite of Dive into Python -- it is slow, methodical, and thorough.

Could someone please recommend a simple (as in very easy to understand) charting library for Java?
I just want to add a simple chart into my program and figured I might save some time by learning a library.
JFreeChart is one of the best open source charting packages for java.
A litte outdated, but still working and with free documentation (JFreeChart has just the API for free, the devguide is saled) is jCharts.
A sample code for Swing is available here, if you don't need anything fancy or special it may be easier than JFreeChart because of the direct available documentation.
JFreeChart is definitely the way to go. Although the (for-sale) manual is useful if you're doing a huge amount of work using this, it's instructive in the first instance to check out this huge selection of examples (screenshots and code). That will get you 90% of what you need.
