Hi Mickael, thanks for the answer however that isn't quite what I had in mind. I want the mathematically typeset formulas

to appear inline along with the java code, rather than having to hover over it to see it.

In that case you're probably looking for "code-minings" (http://help.eclipse.org/2022-03/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_workbench_texteditor_codeMiningProviders.html?resultof=%22%63%6f%64%65%22%20%22%6d%69%6e%69%6e%67%22%20%22%6d%69%6e%65%22%20). They allow inject both textual and visual representation in the document . See the attached screenshot of CSS editor color rendered in addition to the text, it's done using this technology and might serve your purpose (keep the latex formula in raw format for editing and display the formula as an image).

 

This would most likely mean that the lines which

do have  formulas to render with latex would probably have to be a bit taller to make them visible which might break the existing display code which I presume requires a fixed vertical spacing of lines?

An alternative would be to develop a convention, so that latex formulas would be represented as being within a Javadoc and within a special tag

called <math>

whichCouldSpanSeveralLines(x)=

like{\sup}.this()\int\someLatexStuff

</math>

Is this possible without some kludges?

Hello,

Questions about Java Development Tools are better being asked on the jdt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing-list. Anyway, now it's too late ot undo it, here is a piece of answer: you can use this extension point to achieve what you want https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fextension-points%2Forg_eclipse_jdt_ui_javaEditorTextHovers.html

How can one go about adding a latex _expression_ renderer to the Java editor ?

It should interpret anything bracketed in $$ inside Java comments (and elsewhere?)  with jlatexmath?

I think I'd rather have this before a swig mode

Thanks in advance
