Coming from the VisualStudio world to Eclipse! I have a question:

I have created a File->New->Project->General Project and added a .htm file to it and went to its text editor mode. But it does not have intellisence for HTML tags when I type them. Then I installed Aptana plug-in and tought it will bring auto-complete for my tags, but it did not change anything. So we have to type everything? No Intellisense for HTML in Eclipse?

Install the Web Tools Platform (WTP), that should give you auto completion.

Or get "Eclipse for Java EE" or "Eclipse for JavaScript" instead of "Eclipse for Java" or "Eclipse Classic" respectively. –  BalusC Nov 25 '11 at 18:24
