@markus: I will try the new version
PS: seems like the link to your web page is http://www.eclipse.org/epp/ not http://www.eclipse.com/epp/ ?

The JEE package has been removed last Friday for a good reason… there was a dependency problem that caused an Update Manager failure.

The package has been replaced with an updated version in the meantime.

See http://www.eclipse.org/epp/faq.php for more information about this error.

@kaveri: did you download the all-in-one package or the java-ee version of eclipse? for me the xml editor is working correct using the classic eclipse + wtp

I downloaded WTP for Europa. I use the XML editor extensively , for some reason, the XML editor does not appear in the list of editors when I wanted to associate .xml file with the XML Editor.

The update manager is just as broken as it was a year ago. I hate it soo badly.
By the way, I had trouble to install subclipse, too. You have to disable the JPA plugin which is broken, and then you can proceed and install.
I hope they do something to the hideous update manager, it makes eclipse look stupid and crappy.

@eric: my version contains this configuration entry too but I had no problems with that, although it must be a mistake

they really removed the j2ee version, strange. I think I will download the classic version and add the wtp all-in-one

So much for it being “ready”.

Probably because it is bugly, for example, I found this “osgi.ws=gtk” in file eclipse-jee-europa-win32.zip\configuration\config.ini
