I need to compile my file in the following way:
pdflatex file.tex
bibtex book
bibtex journals
bibtex conferences
pdflatex file.tex
pdflatex file.tex
Of course, I can build it manually from command line, however, is there any way, how to setup Texlipse to build it automatically in this way?

@MarcoDaniel Indeed. :) I'm trying to finish the installer today, then I'll work on the documentation. I'll try to release 2.0 final until the end of next week. :)
@MarcoDaniel We could write an article about PSTricks and latex (no xelatex), and how arara can make the workflow for generating the final PDF easier. :P
Would be great! I'd give you a flower for this such as texample.net/tikz/examples/poppy - perhaps you like this one too, which I made yesterday with PostScript code found on the web:
\documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{pstricks} \begin{document} \begin{pspicture}(4,3)(18,25) \pstVerb { 0.1 0.5 0 setrgbcolor /m1 [ 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.16 0.00 0.00 ] def /m2 [ 0.85 -0.04 0.04 0.85 0.00 1.60 ] def /m3 [ 0.20 0.23 -0.26 0.22 0.00 1.60 ] def /m4 [ -0.15 0.26 0.28 0.24 0.00 0.44 ] def /point 72 def /length 0 def % will draw inside a 8 inch square centered on 8.5 by 11 inch page 4.25 point mul 1.5 point mul translate 0.8 point mul dup scale % x coordinate ranges from -5 to 5 % y coordinate ranges from 0 to 10
@MarcoDaniel: If the bibtex rule is 'bibtex @{expandoptions} @{file}.aux', we can use % arara: bibtex: {files: [ book, journals, conferences ]}. Everything in one line. :)
@MarcoDaniel I'm not clear about that, I just know gnuplot is externally called and that it's diffucult for many - I thought arara could help (don't know arara yet)
@MarcoDaniel Would arara be useful for any external graphics processing, such as pstricks, gnuplot, asymptote, or would it be using a sledge-hammer to crack a nut?
@StefanKottwitz arara has one big requirement. You need a tex-file. Inside the tex file you can do everything. In version 1.0.1 there was a problem on Windows systems but @PauloCereda was able to fix this in version 2.0.
@MarcoDaniel I too like it, although it has its own small problems: a ~ at the beginning of a line is ignored as it is one that follows a control sequence, so it's not "I want a space in output here". However \baselineskip% at the end of a line is really ugly. :) It's curious that Grill's syndrome started from a problem of too many % ending lines.
@StefanKottwitz arara reads tex, dtx and ltx looking for directives which will tell it what programs it should run, the parameters for each program, and the order. :)
I'm investigating if it is possible to generate electrical schematics for industrial machinery with the LaTeX ecosystem. They are quite different from electronic circuits because are developed sequentially. Here is a typical page drawn with QElectrotech (the only open source package I found for s...
@PauloCereda When automatic translators were at their beginning on the net, there was a very funny translation into Italian of a Web page about Larry Bird. The title was rendered as "L'uccello di Larry", which of course can be interpreted in a vulgar sense.
@PauloCereda That was one of the reasons that made NBA player into the national team for the Olympic games. In that team there was Oscar (Schmidt): he was 7 times the best scorer in the Italian league. But also Marcel (de Souza) was a great player.
I have a couple of PDF files and a jpeg file which I want to concatenate to a single PDF. Anybody who knows how the heck I'm supposed to do this in Windows 7 (preferably without having to pay somebody)?
Hi, is there a quick way to align an inline array so that the top row of the matrix is aligned with the text on a line?
You can use pdfpages to do this. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pdfpages} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \includepdf[pages=1-]{pdf1} \includepdf[pages=1-]{pdf2} \includegraphics{jpg1} \end{document}
@MarcoDaniel The MWE was unrelated to the question. It was a response to @Speldosa. Chat is crappy about distinguishing independent messages from the same user.
@MarcoDaniel What I want is an inline array with the first row of the array aligned with the rest of the words in the line that the array is inline with.
@AlanMunn This can be done by the optional argument of array:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}
Text Text Text $\begin{array}[t]{c}a\\b\\c\\d\end{array}$ Text Text Text
\end{document}
I found this question: tex.stackexchange.com/q/41806/2693 but I can't seem to get @egreg 's solution to work (mine is a bit more complicated since the array is generated in a macro from an etoolbox\forcsvlist command.
@AlanMunn Yes, but egreg would probably find a way to work around it. :-) :-) Or just use $ since it is intended for non-math mode use. Quite surprising result when you add the [t].
@egreg Now there is no problem. :) @MarcoDaniel has found a simpler solution. I would be curious to know why adding [t] to the example posted above screws it up so much.
@egreg Sorry, I missed the delarray addition; I thought it was just removing the intercolumn spaces that was doing the work. Yes, the docs are very enlightening. :) So this is an even simpler solution.
Yes, I realise that. You and DK. (The quotes about his new editions in the most recent TUG e-mail):
"the books themselves are significantly better in hundreds of small ways. I went through every page very carefully and introduced many refinements, which have made me extremely happy with the result."

There's also another motivation of the name \emph{arara}: the \href{chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41}{chatroom residents} of TeX.sx -- including myself -- are fans of palindromes, especially palindromic numbers. As you can already tell, \verb|arara| is a palindrome, besides of course being an anagram of itself.
\verb|arara| is a palindrome, besides of being an anagram of itself in many non trivial ways\footnote{A special thanks to Enrico Gregorio for this clever remark! And he adds, ``\texttt{arara} is fixed under 11 non identity permutations.''}.
@DavidZaslavsky I don't know the other ecossystems. :) I'm tempted to provide an answer to Sci-Fi, but I think that would confirm my geek status. :P
I like to browse the other sites. Thought I can't understand most of the answers (specially Physics and Maths), it's always a pleasure to read nice answers like yours. :)
Gorchestopher's answer is very accurate, but I'd like to add a little contribution. :)
