What is the single best free Eclipse plugin for authoring and editing XML documents?

Question

In my old job I used XMLSpy to do my XML authoring and editing, but now I require a free plugin for Eclipse to do this. My basic requirements are:

- General XML document editing
- Creating XSD files
- Creating WSDL files

Can you recommend a free Eclipse plugin for this?

Answer 1

To write XML/XSL files you can use oxygenxml

Or the free version of editix

Answer 2

In the free department, WTP (Web Tools Platform) (in its latest version) does include a lot of features,
including schema creation/modification.

Answer 3

I have positive experience with tiny xmlbuddy plugin for editing xml documents in eclipse (plain and xsd/dtd based). Possible it will be useful for you as well. It's a bit old, but works well in recent versions of eclipse (3.x). List of it's features.
