Is there any simple SQL editor in Eclipse? Or do I need to find a simple SQL editor plugin for Eclipse?

By simple I mean, the editor does NOT connect to any DB, does syntax highlighting and preferably formatting sql is a bonus.

for reference to add sql syntax highlighting / coloring to eclipse you can install Data tools platform extender sdk from "install new software", under Database Development

or enter site location directly http://download.eclipse.org/datatools/updates
