Issue
I am following a set of tutorials and they are great, but he keeps referencing a set of tabs at the bottom of his XML files to configure them, but I don't have them. I followed his instructions and installed all the same plugins, but they aren't there. On his tutorial, there was a beans tab for a Spring Beans beans.xml
file and a dependancy tab for the Maven pom.xml
.
I am using Eclipse EE Kepler, Spring IDE, and Maven.

Solution
Eclipse remembers which editor you've used to open specific files (in this case, the generic XML editor) and sometimes uses that editor even if you later install a plugin that provides a more specific editor (such as the Spring Beans editor). Right-click the file and manually select "open with $EDITOR".
