Eclipse has a very nice editor. But I can't seem to simply start
Eclipse and edit a file. I have to create a project, import files into
the project, synchronize them if they're remote, etc.
That works well for formal projects, but not for things like web sites
where you're just occasionally pulling various bits of HTML and PHP into
an editor.
Isn't there any way to just open a file and go? What about remote files
(SFTP)? The SFTP plugin seems to be a synchronize method.

I always keep a "Sandbox" project in my workspaces for that kind of
thing. In my case I make it a Java Project so I can easily do Java
coding/runnning with its contents, but you could make it any kind of
Project you need.
