On http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, the "Eclipse IDE for Java
Developers" is described to include "The essential tools for any Java

Multiple downloads and hours later, I'm still unable to find an included
XML editor, or any further reference to it.
Hopefully I'm just missing something simple. My "test case" currently
consists of running each version in a new workspace, creating a "Test.xml"
file, and opening it, expecting to see it open in an "XML Editor", or some
editor that provides XML-specific capabilities beyond the default Eclipse
text editor.
So far I've tested:
- eclipse-java-europa-win32.zip ("Eclipse IDE for Java Developers")
- eclipse-SDK-3.3-win32.zip ("Eclipse Classic")
- wtp-all-in-one-sdk-R-2.0-200706260303-win32.zip ("Web Tools Platform
All-In-One Packages")
- Multiple combinations of choices through the Update Manager. "Europa
Discovery Site / Web and JEE Development / Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
2.0.0.v200706182145-..." with "Select Required" seemed the most promising,
but after restart, I didn't see any new functionality.
Apparently this functionality does exist - somewhere - as described by
this "XML editor" help page:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. jst.doc.isv/html/plugin_descriptions_JST/jst.html
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It's in there... if you don't believe me, start the eclipse-java-europa
package and open 'Help' > 'Software Update' > 'Manage Configuration'. Then
you will find the feature 'Eclipse XML Editors and Tools' in the list of
installed features.
[ BTW: Which Java version are you running? Is it a JVM >= 1.5? ]

If the feature is configured properly, you should be able to find
* a section 'Web and XML' in the preferences ('Windows' > 'Preferences...')
* some wizards for creating XML, XSD, ... files ('File' > 'New'
> 'Other...', then choose XML)
* if you right-click on a .xml file, you should find 'Open With'
> 'XML Editor' in the context menu
* the XML editor itself is a multi-page editor; i.e. you can switch
between the 'Design' and the 'Source' page.

This includes the XML editor from Webtools.

This is the SDK from the Eclipse Platform Team. It contains many things for
Java and plugin development, but not an XML editor.

I am pretty sure that their all-in-one packages includes the XML editor as
well.

Well, as the XML editor is included, you won't find it in the feature list
of the Europa Discovery Site.

Seems to me that many users are facing problems with old Java versions. We
should have used the osgi.requiredJavaVersion property in the packages, but
that's somehow broken in the Windows version and we decided not to use this
property. We'll add it in the next release!
