How does eclipse handle html files? Specifically:

folder to where the package belongs?
How do I create an html file inside eclipse? Should I open New > File?
How do I edit an html file in eclipse? Is Open With > Text Editor that I
have used the best way?
Thanks,
Eustace

In an eclipse paperback I did see that you can assign separate folders
for .java and .class files, but I haven't applied that yet. Until I do,
I suppose I'll keep the .html files together with the .java and .class
ones in the same package folder.

Wow! I really could not make out what this webpage is about. No text, no
explanation of what's going on... But I am sure it makes good sense for
the developers. If only some of them would apply themselves to
simplifying the whole project to make it more user-friendly... To an
outsider the whole project seems more oriented toward the developer
rather than toward the user.

Good to know that there is a html editor, but at this point I would
rather not start adding new elements is eclipse - it is complicated
enough as it is. For now and until I feel more at home with eclipse, I
can use the text editor for simple html files and Nvu for more complex ones.

Even if you set things up so that generated .class files are in a
separate folder, I'm pretty sure you'll still want to keep the javadoc
HTML files in the same folder as the .java files.

It's just a simple web interface to a CVS repository. All Eclipse
source code is accessible in this way.

Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder and is a moving target. I
would assert the following. With respect to any particular technology,
people will fall into one of two camps: Those who don't yet understand
it, and want it to be simpler. And those who do already understand it,
and want more and more and more... This is a never ending battle.
Adding more capabilities will not ever be a simplification.

It sounds though like you are a developer... The real problem, I think,
is that the people doing the work are developers and don't have time
left to write lots of nice high-level documentation. (And of course
users don't tend to read the documentation anyway, they just show up
with questions.)

Yes, WTP is a pretty big thing to install if all you want is HTML editing.
