For that, it does what's needed. What Altova are failing to make clear is that it's pointless unless you pay ridiculous sums to them for XMLSpy. There used to be a good, free Home Edition, but Altova withdrew it in 2006, and you can't download it from their website.

Despite it's a nice tool, with some cool features and even some Eclipse integration capabilities, it's NOT A PLUGIN so it doesn't deserve to be listed in a site named 'Eclipse Plugin Central'. That's been, by plain definition, spamming.
In response to this spam, I'll take a course of action that, even being plain legal, will go focused to harm Altova's sales: I'm gonna build a tool that will attempt to beat Altova's commercial products in every feature, and distribute it under an OSI certified license. I cannot go into further details without breaking my anonymate, but I'll tell you at least a few facts:
- It's going to be available in multiple formats and platforms, including Eclipse. However, I'm not yet sure if it's going to be a plugin by itself or part of a bigger plugin... maybe I'll do both.
- It will allow the creation of complex XML-based applications without typing any code (in exception of DATA and, sometimes, the name for new elements), but will also allow the user to hardcode everything. Of course, there will also be intermediate possibilities. This feature pretends to leave as obsolete the concept of code completion and replace it by code generation in the widest sense of the term.
- I've set my deathline and it should be ready in less than a year.
I'm asking myself if Altova will respond to this. I throw a challenge from here: TRY TO BEAT ME, do you dare?
Greetings,

And yes, embedding your app into one of eclipse´s tab is NOT making a plugin. Making a plugin means integrating new functionality in an existing interface, not just adding a new interface into another. I know it's today's marketing hype, and I know that's what Altova lives for: hype. I really hope my manager doesn't fall for your marketing. I'd rather edit my XML with notepad, which at least doesn't get on my nerves as much as all your products do.

This is not a plugin.
A plugin extends the functionality of the Eclipse IDE.
This makes you download the whole XmlSpy mess and then merge it with Eclipse.
Ah, yes, and tell them what does not work.
Sneaky, sneaky !!!
