TeXlipse 1.5.0
Categories:
The TeXlipse plugin provides both LaTeX and BibTeX editors, a project creation wizard, and a complete user manual of the editor functions. Additional features include syntax highlighting, document outline, section folding, command completion, cite and ref completion, templates, builder integration, viewer integration with inverse search, and more. The plugin makes it possible for LaTeX documents to be edited and built like normal projects in the IDE, and the viewer support makes it easy to check the outcome.

Excellent choice
I've been using TeXlipse to write things for the past two years and I can say this is the perfect choice for those who already knows the Eclipse tools and need an Latex environment. I've downloaded a clean basic Eclipse with no extensions for any language, and then I just installed TeXlipse, making it a dedicated workspace to write my stuff. It runs very smooth. I have a Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM, running Ubuntu 10. Everything works fine! The autocomplete of refs and citations are the core of "why-using-this", productivity goes insane! The code-templates just transformed me into a latex dumb (thank god), and I really don't need to keep in my mind all those lines to write tables and images anymore. And the most exciting part: the auto-preview in PDF files everything I save the document. Errors highlights in line sides helps to fix the problems faster. The same way, the spell checker integrated to the editor is a plus, since all I do is write things not worrying about spelling, then all I need is to access the keyboard shortcut to spell checker, thus the words get yellow underlined, and the plugin suggests words when I hit ctrl+space inside a misspelled word. I found pretty interesting that comments like "%TODO: something" puts something in the Eclipse tasklist, what motivates the usage of this list, and of course improves the way you manage the writing activity. I just have nothing to complain... You guys should prepare a clean Eclipse distro with the plugin already installed, like I did, and put it in the download section of your site so that people could use this awesome tool without the plugin installation issues that Eclipse users face all the time.

Great Plugin!!
I have been using Eclipse for Java and find Texlipse works great with Eclipse. With a spell checker and just general syntax fixes, it made learning Tex alot easier. Thanks for the great plugin!

Very good!
If it just worked with MikTeX 2.9 ... it'd be awesome!

Thanks for that great plugin
I use TeXlipse for quite some time now and it becomes better and better. Coding and documenting without being forced to leave your favourite ide is just great. What I like the most in the new version is the realtime spell checking. This is far better than the former aspell integration.
Thanks again,
Thomas.

Writing my thesis with it.
Very nice plugin.
With reaching version 1.4 very complete. I have not yet found a better cross platform latex environment! It easily competes with the windows only LeD.
My favorite features:
- Automatic spelling check with suggestions
- Complete outline of complex multi-file latex documents
- Hovering over a \cite{refence} provides a short summary of the reference. Same in the drop down list when tab-completing
- Todo task lists
- Overview of all latex warnings and errors
- And of course syntax highlighting, completion of latex environments, preview generation etc.
