Getting Eclipse to open .html in text-editor by default?

Viewed 32728

Eclipse Juno keeps opening my HTML files in a embedded web-browser, rather than in an embedded syntax-highlighting editor.

I have installed:

  • Web Page Editor
  • Eclipse Web Developer Tools
  • PyDev for Eclipse

Specifically see the screenshot of my install applications.

I need it to work with Django templates + any other Python templates with HTML + normal HTML+JS files.

How do I find this editor, and select it as default?

For those still finding their way here, yes, do add an HTML editor to Eclipse as CgodLEY suggests, if you're having this problem. However, even if you already have an HTML editor in your Eclipse installation, consider installing CodeMix for a superlative HTML editing experience - take a look at the differences here.
