XML Spy for Eclipse
I've been doing a lot of Xml work recently, but as i don't work with it much (except for config files) I tend to just use XML buddy for Eclipse, sometimes the eclipse xml parser from the WST, and XML spy Home edition as a standalone.
But now I've just found and been using XML Spy for eclipse. You can use it with the free and pro edition and gives you a lot more options than other free eclipse options.

I didn't like the way the xml spy plugin kind-of tool over the perspectives in eclipse. I cannot remember the details now just that it started to irritate me and I replaced it with XML Buddy despite the reduced features.
I used XML Spy a ton over they years and it is a super powerful tool. Once I started using Eclipse I really didn't like how the XML Spy plug-in for Eclipse felt so I went searching and ended up installing oXygen XML and have been nothing but happy since! Not sure if oXygen XML has a free plug-in but it might be worth checking out.
hi Andy, nice tip, have you looked at Serna as well, it’s completely free and seems to be reviewed quite well in the freeware category.
