Hi all, I just installed Eclipse 2020-09 (4.17.0), then installed Eclipse Web Developer Tools 3.19 from the Marketplace. Restarted Eclipse, opened a .js file, and there's no syntax highlighting.

What am I missing?

As of 3.18, you should be opening .js files in the Generic Text Editor. For those standalone files, the expectation now is to have the Wild Web Developer features installed.
