Eclipse PDF Plugin
The PDF plugin provides a free Eclipse plugin with a PDF View, PDF Perspective and PDF Editor for viewing PDF files. It is based on the LGPL release of the JPedal library with the ability to open, scale and move through PDF pages. Once installed, PDF files can be viewed by double-clicking on a PDF file or using FileOpen option. You can also drag and drop a PDF file onto Eclipse itself.
The PDF viewer also allows you to open PDF files from the internet, which it will cache, and store a list of your favourite PDF files for easy access.
