For those of you who are struggling integrating JSpell Evolution into Confluence 2.9.2 here is the outline:

Shutdown your Confluence instance
If you have a standalone version you can perform edits right in your file tree. If you have a packaged version you would need to unpack it, or patch the files in the "build" structure where you run Ant to get your packaged version
Navigate to /confluence/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/setup
Extract atlassian-tinymce-plugin-3.0-rc2.jar from bundled plugins archive (you may need to verify the file name if you are trying to patch a version different from 2.9.2)
```
unzip atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip 
       atlassian-tinymce-plugin-3.0-rc2.jar
```

Extract tinyMceAdaptor.js file

unzip atlassian-tinymce-plugin-3.0-rc2.jar
       com/atlassian/confluence/extra/tinymceplugin/tinyMceAdaptor.js

Edit file tinyMceAdaptor.js. You need to change two functions onShowEditor and tinyMCEOnInit so they look like the following:

function onShowEditor()
{
    if (navigator.appName != "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
        tinyMCE.execCommand("mceAddControl", true, "wysiwyg" + 
escape(AJS.params.parametersName));
        // begin: JSpell integration patch
        setTimeout(jspellInit,500);
        // end: JSpell integration patch
    }

}

And

function tinyMCEOnInit(inst) {
    // begin: JSpell integration patch
    if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
        setTimeout(jspellInit,500);
    }
    // end: JSpell integration patch

    // Once the content has finished loading, make a note of it
    tinyMCEHasInit = true;

    // tinyMCE.getContent() was used here previously,
    // but returned null for FireFox.
    // As a workaround, grab the textarea's contents 
    // and set that as the original value (CONF-4498)
    tinyMCE.originalHTML = AJS.$("wysiwygTextarea").value;
}

Zip the plugin back up

zip atlassian-tinymce-plugin-3.0-rc2.jar
     com/atlassian/confluence/extra/tinymceplugin/tinyMceAdaptor.js

Zip the bundled plugins archive back up

zip atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip 
     atlassian-tinymce-plugin-3.0-rc2.jar

Remove the copy of the plugin from your confluence home directory, it will be under YOUR_CONFLUENCE_HOME/bundled-plugins

Place the following code-snippet on your clipboard. (This assumes you have JSpell Evolution deployed into your server on /jspellEvolution context, if different - edit accordingly)

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"
 SRC="/jspellEvolution/jspellSettings.js"
 CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"></script>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"
 SRC="/jspellEvolution/jspellEvolution.js"
 CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"></script>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
function getSpellCheckArray()
{ 
        var spellCheckArray=new Array();
        spellCheckArray[spellCheckArray.length]=
         [document,"mce_editor_"+(tinyMCE.idCounter-1)];
        return spellCheckArray;
}
</script>

Edit the following files and place the snippet above at the top of the file

/confluence/template/custom/content-editor.vm
/confluence/template/notable/wiki-textarea.vm

If you use the packaged version - build your package with Ant and deploy
Start your confluence instance
