why I'm downloading 6.1

Because I couldn't get the visual HTML editor in 6.0 to work. I tried downloading the plugins for JSF Visual and everything else that said Java Server Faces. I looked through the tutorials, which just implied that the visual editor pops up when you created a project. I created web projects, which generated a mass of files. But when I tried New File, HTML, I just got the plain text HTML editor. Though I could drag items from a pallet onto the text & have the text for the items show up. So rather than mess with my current set-up, I thought, why not 6.1?
