new 2013 answer: it seems to depend on what version of eclipse you're running.

  1. click "help" -> "about eclipse sdk" to find the version (e.g. 4.2.2).
  2. optionally, from the version number you can know the codename (e.g. Juno) from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28software%29#Releases
  3. go here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F
  4. right click on the correct WTP link copy the link address (e.g. WTP 3.4) (they should be listed by version and codename)
  5. now in eclipse, click "help" -> "install new software..." and paste the link location in the "work with" field (e.g. "http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/juno/").
  6. choose "Web Tools Platform (WTP #.#.#)" and click next and install everything.
  7. restart eclipse, close all open files and re-open them for web tools to start working.
