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.
- GNU/Linux
- Mac OS
- Windows: highly experimental (not yet for production use)
The support for Windows will be improved in the next stable release.
- Oracle Java (recommended JDK 8 or higher)
- Apache Ant
