TeXlipse, an Eclipse plugin for LaTeX

TeXlipse is an eclipse plugin for LaTeX that I use. It works pretty well. I have put some basic info on this page about getting started with TeXlipse.

To download, visit http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/

Or on Eclipse -> Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install -> Search for new features -> New Remote Site -> http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/ (Much easier and recommended way)


The TeXlipse website has a very good documentation on installing and using the plugin.

Installation guide - http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/manual/installation.html
Configuring TeXlipse - http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/manual/configuration.html

(reminder: you need to have a LaTeX distribution already installed, ie, MiKTeX for windows.)

One thing to remember to do after installation/configuration: under Windows -> Preferences -> TeXlipse -> Viewer Settings -> for acroread specify its path and move it up to the top. (so that acroread is the first line). By doing this, when you hit the "Launch the previewer" button, it will show the pdf generated in acroread.


That should get you started.

For more manuals, go to http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/manual/
