JSP editor absent after installing JEE Dev Tools [message #507476]

Hi all,
I am encountering what is for me a problem. I struggled this afternoon to find a JSP editor to edit files with something better than the plain text editor.
I reluctantly went to WTP because of its weight: I just wanted indentation and syntax coloring.

Anyway, I did install 'Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools' and 'Eclipse Web Developer Tools' from the Galileo update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo). But I can't see any mention of a JSP editor anywhere in Eclipse.

Is there a feature that I should have taken ?
Thanks.

EDIT: you need to install the 'Web Page Editor' feature (which is optional) before getting the JSP editor Confused

I think you need the Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools to get the JSP editor.

As I said earlier and you quoted it, I did install Java EE Developer Tools. But it's not enough to get the jsp editor which is with "Web Page Editor".

Sorry, I'm blind, I missed the "Java EE Developer Tools", I just read
the "Eclipse Web Developer Tools" :-P

Anyway, strange enough you had to install the Web Page Editor to get the
JSP editor... Maybe the real requirement is one of the JST* packages and
the Web Page Editor installed the required one as a dependency.

Yes, you may be right, I didn't think of that.
Thanks for your interest in my topic.
