Texlipse: How do you configure it to show a real time preview?

Question

I'm running on an Ubuntu and I hope it doesn't matter. Either than the preview it's a great latex editor

Answer 1

Considering the Texlipse man page mentions building and previewing, I do not think it can make a real-time preview, especially when the previewing relies on external tool.

But you could associate that Texlipse editor with other tools able to read the same LaTeX definition file and make a real time preview, like in this question:

Answer 2

I think you're looking for the "Previewing" section on this manual page. When I glanced over it though, it didn't look like there is necessarily a way to do a live preview. It is an open source project, so if you really need to scratch that itch there's a way. :)
