Here I am back with a new, silly question: what is the most favourite bibtex editor under GNU/linux? I have been using JabRef under Windows, but I realised that it runs under the Java Runtime Environment, and I do not want to install new components if I do not really need them...
I am also quite pleased with JabRef. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JabRef
put the java binary into /opt/jabref and create a starter file in your path: #! /bin/sh ###script to start JabRef export JABREF_BASE_DIR='/opt/local/jabref' ; #cd $JABREF_BASE_DIR ; java -jar $JABREF_BASE_DIR/JabRef.jar ;
