The best place to look for some of this information is at the Eclipse corner
web site (www.eclipsecorner.org). Look at the web page
(http://www.eclipsecorner.org/projects/platform/index.html).

The JDE and PDE are plugins that are shipped with the SDK. Will there be
other plugins included in the SDK in the future? ...I can't answer that.

Currently, if you need an XML editor, you would need to get one from a
plugin provider. Actually, there is one XML editor in the SDK - the PDE
provides one to edit the plugin.xml file.

Agreed... Take a look at the WebSphere Studio Workbench. It's a "packaged
product" (eclipse platform plus all sorts of plugins) do to web application
development.
