There's no "standard eclipse xml editor" built into plain Eclipse. You have to install an XML editor separately, e.g. Web Tools (aka WST) or XmlBuddy. Myeclipse ships with a version of WST (maybe not 0.7 as required for Spring IDE 1.2.3).

I installed a fresh eclipse 3.1, then a fresh WPT, and then a fresh Spring IDE. And this time Spring IDE seems to be fully functional. Now I will start adding the rest of my plugins and see who the culprit is!

thanks again!

Well, it didn't take long. The very first plugin I tried was MyEclipse. And sure enough, no more Spring IDE. Lots of errors logged, mainly centered around complaints that GEF 3.1 was already installed.

Then when I try to disable myeclipse I cannot, instead getting an error message indicating that uninstalling would invalidate the current configuration (my eclipse would try also to uninstall EMF which is required by WTP plugins.)

I like myeclipse, but they always seem to screw up my configuration. I'm going to just use WTP for a bit and see how that goes.
