Eclipse puts the words you add into a text file, AKA the User defined dictionary.
You can find the location of this file at Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Spelling -> User defined dictionary.
I believe that it’s not set up by default – the first time you use the Add to dictionary feature it asks for the user dictionary location.
Open up the file in a text editor and remove the word you don’t want. You’ll probably need to restart Eclipse before it recognises the word as misspelled again (i.e. before it will re-read the user dictionary file).
