I installed 2023-09 on Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Edition Version 22H2 OS build 22621.2070 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22659.1000.0 using the installer at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2023-06/R/eclipse-inst-jre-win64.exe, but selected the 2023-09 build. I went with Eclipse Platform as I need Java at times and local JavaScript at other times. Those languages now seem to be installed, but syntax highlighting for the JS isn't working. It's like Eclipse doesn't know the file is a JavaScript file. The Web Tools perspective is selected.

What's wrong?
