MyEclipse is not worth the price, especially with the onset of WTP from eclipse foundation, and some other nice plugins. Check my blog entry out about setting up WTP, http://cfrant.blogspot.com/2008/03/jboss-eclipse-and-bluedragon.html . Beyond that here are some other eclipse plugins that are free:
xmlbuddy - http://xmlbuddy.com/2.0/products.html - the free edition is good enough for my uses and honestly comes close to matching MyEclispe quantumDB - http://quantum.sourceforge.net/ - just as good as myeclipse Aptanta - http://www.aptana.com/ - it is sort of heavy but a really robust JS, CSS and XML editor, once again the free edition is good enough. Spket - http://www.spket.com/ - an alternative to Aptana and very nice.Ihave not looked at XML in it but it does support Flex development too. Fujaba - http://wwwcs.uni-paderborn.de/cs/fujaba/ - a bit flakey eclipse support but a nice free UML editor none the less. If i recall there is an eclipse project now for UML...I know there is an IBM product which is what we are evaluating at work. A few years ago I would have said MyEclipse is a no brainer, these days I don't believe that anymore. Even in java development it has become harder and harder to justify the cost. I know the cost difference is substantial but if I am going to spend money on an IDE these days for Java it will be spent on IntelliJ.
