I think it's a great idea. Also tie it in to something like GhostView or AcroReader (but you could probably use the SVG plugin) and it would be really hot!
The best opportunity would be of course to port YAP DVI viewer to Java. It has a feature to connect point in the resulting document to the line in source file, so we could display the region which corresponds to the carret position and vice verse: find the line by doubleclicking on the necessary point.
We could use it as live previewer.
It would make Idea to the best LaTeX IDE ever created.
Alexander, Of course Yap DVI viewer is probably a better choice. I never use it, though, I just run pdflatex or a script that punches through to the postscript. The DVI viewer is probably a lighter-weight choice. Maybe in my copious spare time I'll take a stab at this plugin...
We could adopt YAP (it's opensource MFC C++ programm) to work in container and use it. It would have a big advantage since we would be able to connect output and source. And there is one more reason: it would work much more quickly than pdflatex+acrobat.
Sounds like a good plugin.

There is a LaTeX-plugin for Eclipse called eTex. You may find more info here: http://etex.sourceforge.net
But I would much rather use IntelliJ then Eclipse... :)
