This software was initially developed for my diploma thesis (german only):
Steffen Ernst - Literate Programming in Eclipse
It is made publicly available under the
Apache 2.0 License.
The source code is included in the jar file of the plugin.
To contact me use the
forums or

To display a PDF inside of eclipse, JPedal is used.

The main goal of the software is a simplified usage and by this
a more widespread usage of literate programming. Literate Programming
was introduced 1984 by Donald Knuth. It strengthens the role of the
documentation by embedding the source code in the documentation. For
that the code can be split into arbitrary small parts to explain it
in detail. The parts are linked to form a complete program.
