I am looking for a simple XML editor to start learning XML and then do some actual XML projects with. Before I download one, I would like to ask your opinions on which one you prefer as you all are all XML experts. These are the two simple free ones I’ve been told that work well for a simple XML editor. But does the Java SE bundle actually support XML editing however? It is not mentioned on their website but I have heard people still use the editor for XML writing.
Thank you.
(1) http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html
Java SE bundle (just to use the editor for XML — ** does this editor support XML editing?**
(2) XML Notepad 2007
XML Notepad 2007 provides a simple intuitive user interface for browsing and editing XML documents.

This one sounds great but don’t know anyone who’s used it. Small, simple, just for XML editing.
Yes Netbeans supports XML editing. Highligting, namespaces and code completion.
The Java SE bundle is usually not considered to include Netbeans.
