I followed the advice of Simon Gibbs in this answer and found it worked out fine - if you're in a hurry, the "Web Page Editor (optional)" package from the Eclipse update site does the trick.

For the Eclipse-challenged (me) Help > Install New Software > Work with > Expand Web, XML, and Java EE Development > Select "Web Page Editor (optional)" and "next-through" to completion.
