Answer 1

You have to install the Web tools for Eclipse. This means: choose the Eclipse Enterprise installation or add the WTP project in your existing Eclipse instance. For the latter, go to Help -> Install new software, select the Eclipse update site and then choose the WTP project to be added.

I realize this is a really old post, but for the benefit of others who get here looking for CSS support in Eclipse, I would encourage you to give CodeMix a try for a truly superlative experience.

Key features:

• Supports all the CSS 3 properties, including support for variables
• In-built Emmet integration reduces typing required
• Includes a CSS validator
• Sass and LESS supported too

Answer 5

File > New > File Write the name of your file with the .css extension.

To have colors and a friendly visual I think if you don't have support will need download any plugin. I usually use this and it's good https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-4-tools-lightweight-css-editor
