JabRef is a graphical frontend to manage BibTeX databases, the standard LaTeX bibliography reference format.
JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager. The native file format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format. JabRef runs on the Java VM (version 1.5 or newer), and should work equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
You can run JabRef instantly with Java Web Start: Run JabRef

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.4 Beta 2:
* Opening external files on Linux now uses "xdg-open" as application if no other is specified for the file type. xdg-open should be available to call the appropriate application according to the user's settings on all freedesktop compliant Linux distributions.
* Download external file now attempts to determine file type based on MIME type, using file extension as fallback.
* Changed the way names are handled under autocompletion. Last and first names are now indexed separately.
* A table column can now be set up with fallback fields used if the main field is empty. Fallback fields are set in Options -> Preferences -> Main table columns by setting a column to "field1/field2/...". The fields will be checked in succession until a non-empty value has been found or al fields have been checked. For instance, specifying "author/editor" will result in a column displaying the author field where, set, and the editor field for entries with an empty author field.
* Added special handling of autocompletion for the "crossref" field - now indexes words from the BibTeX key field instead of the "crossref" field. Added crossref to the default fields using autocompletion.
* Added menu item and shortcut (ctrl shift E) to shift focus to the entry table.
* Main window now remembers maximisation state from last time.
* Improved SQL export feature so the complete information about groups, strings and preamble is included. Added SQL import feature supporting the same database schema.
* Added new implementation of regular expression file search that can handler multiple files and file types. Added regexp search as a third option for autolink feature.
* Added support for BibO RDF format, contributed by Egon Willighagen.
* Fixed bug in autocompletion; continuing writing the suggested word after cycling through alternatives would give wrong result in editor.
* Fixed bug where selection would jump back if an entry of different type was selected by mouse click while editing a field of the current entry.
* Fixed missing name formatting in search dialog. Now uses same formatting as main table.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.4 Beta:
* Added "protection" flag in Database properties. When this flag is set, JabRef will refuse to save the database when the file has been externally modified, until the changes have been reviewed and partly or completely accepted.
* Fixed bug where the external update notification in the side pane would remain even if the referred database was closed.
* Added two new search modes - display search results in a dialog, and global search.
* Support for fetching from the command line using --fetch (contributed by Jan F. Boldt and David Kaltschmidt).
* Support for fetching from Spires (contributed by Fedor Bezrukov).
* Support for fetching from JSTOR (contributed by Tobias Langner, Juliane Doege, Sebastian de Hoog and Christoph Jacob)
* Added context menu for file list editor with options to move/rename linked file as well as to automatically move the file to file directory and optionally rename after BibTeX key.
* JabRef can now be extended by plugins (using the Java Plugin Framework JPF as the underlying technology). Currently extension points exist for:
* · ImportFormat
* · ExportFormat based on Templates
* · ExportFormat based on IExportFormat (contributed by Kariem Hussein)
* · LayoutFormatter
* · EntryFetcher
* JabRef uses JPFCodeGenerator (which was written just for JabRef) to generate helper classes for making JPF easier. Current version used: 0.4
* Print warnings if insufficient Java version is used or if JRE is not from Sun.
* Memory Stick Mode: JabRef automatically loads configuration settings from jabref.xml and also writes them there if enabled.
* Improved handling of crossrefs. Fields are now resolved in preview and export.
* Updated dependencies, now using: JempBox-0.2
* Improved handling of ArXiv URIs.
* Changed default preference value: now using import inspection dialog also when just a single entry is imported.
* Fixed: JabRef randomly hangs during Medline fetch
* Fixed: Windows Position in Multi-Monitor environment
* Fixed: LatexFieldFormatter omits "{" on beginning of optional field
* New feature: Printing of entry preview (use right-click menu)
* Fixed: Bug in aux import (contributed by Kai Eckert)
* Fixed: About translation
* Fixed: Clicking a DOI from context menu fails
* Fixed: Uninstall after silent install removes Windows start menu
* Fixed: Strange message (LyX) while installing 2.3
* Added handling of unknown file types when synchronizing the file field.
* Changed the way customized external file types are stored. Types are now stored in a way analogous to a diff from the default types. This allows default types added in later versions to appear immediately, even if the user has customized the list.
* Moved file preferences from General tab to new File tab.
* Reduced horizontal size of preferences dialog.
* Fixed handling of quotes when using the "abbr" modifier for key generator .
* Download file procedure now strips query string in order to find correct file extension
