My search for a good and free Smarty Editor, resulted in Netbeans with a Smarty Plugin (named PHP Smarty Framework). I am an eclipse user, whenever I need to work on views (templates) I switch to Netbeans. But, I accept this as a Temporary solution and looking for a working smarty plugin for Eclipse.

selecting php would be more adequate, because includes html and php. Selecting html includes only html.
