JLatexEditor

JLatexEditor is a cross-platform open source LaTeX editor. It creates a unique development environment for a user by integrating many tools needed to write LaTeX documents, and is highly configurable.

The editor is in constant development. It is well-tested on Linux and Mac OS X, but has to be considered pre-alpha version, and only for experimental use for Windows.
