Best syntax coloring XML editor?

Question

I just installed Eclipse Indigo. Then I installed the Aptana Studio 3 plugin, but it was very slow, it continued to update my entire project (I have a very large project with SVN), so I deleted it.

But now I somehow did not have a decent XML editor. I tried Oxygen, but I think this one was too bloated, not free. I just need a simple text editor with syntax coloring and parentheses.

What is the default XML editor in Indigo, and how can I return it?

UPDATE:

Solved .... I edited the tpl files (which are basically xml files in my application) and they are not connected by default, I attached them to the default HTML editor, and that suits my needs ...

Answer 1

The default HTML editor in Eclipse has good syntax coloring for XML files, so I'm using it now ...

If you use Eclipse, be sure to select the Java EE version, or you can find web server tools, XML, and other Internet-related tools available in the update manager. I almost completely used the SpringSource ToolSuite, a proprietary version of Eclipse with several useful plugins, even if you are not using Spring, it has m2eclipse, WST, and several other useful plugins, predefined presets.

The good parts of the Eclipse XML editing tools are for WSDL and Schema, where you easily browse files and a graphical interface to render the file.

Otherwise, the basic XML editor is just a simple XML editor, with line coloring, some auto-completion, etc.

Note that not all XML tools were built the same way, and you can find one tool that says everything is valid and the other is not. The best known was with WSDL and schemas for web services.

with Eclipse Luna, I used the "Persistence XML Editor" and I have good color highlighting.

If you need a simple xml editor, then you can use Notepad ++, it's just an editor with the langauge function. And if you want to use some IDE, then I personally prefer eclipse 3.5 (Galileo). I find it much better than indigo.
