External Source Project Layout
The layout and usability of the 'External JavaScript Source' project has been updated. It is no longer filtered by default and is also no longer deleted whenever Eclipse is shut down. The format of the source within the project has been changed to make it easier to find scripts. Scripts are now added to the project in sub-folders corresponding to their URL rather than the often cryptic hash code of the source.

Formatting
The HTML formatter has been reworked significantly to indent block-level elements to one deeper level than the parent element. A list of inline elements can be configured through preferences. These inline elements do not have its child nodes indented at a deeper level. The preference can be found under the Web > HTML Files > Editor node from Window > Preferences.
