Developing HTML/JSP Pages in Eclipse using Toolbox [message #855737]

Hello All,

I am new to Eclipse but worked for some time in Visual Studio 2008 developing .net applications in c#.
One thing which I am surely missing is how to develop html/jsp pages in Eclipse using some visual tool (drag and drop components like Button,Text box). In VISUAL STUDIO the Toolbox had a long list of components like Table,Panel, Button, List Box ,Data Grid etc which you can easily drag and drop to the HTML/aspx pages and create nice WEb Pages. Doing this you can just concentrate on your logic (c# code) and not worry about html coding.

Only similar thing I could find in Eclipse is 'Web Page Editor' which shows up when you right click on html/JSP file and choose 'open with' .
But the Palette and Web Page Editor are too simple to build decent web pages(html/JSP).

Now for SWING applications there is a better Pallete but the same is not available for Web.

Am I missing any special plugin or I have to use some other application (like Dreamweaver) even to create decent web pages.

Thanks in advance
NM

Don't know if someone's created a plug-in, but yeah, as far as I know,
you'll not want to lose that copy of Dreamweaver. I create decent web
pages, however, via Vim, the best HTML editor. But then, that's just me.
