Eclipse (kepler) Dojo Widgets (drag and drop) not visibile with IBM WDT v.8.5.5.1

Question

Request for you help. I am trying to use eclipse for developing a dojo based web app. I am unable to see the dojo widgets that I can drag and drop into the Editor as per the documentation on WDT. Is such an option ( drag and drop of dojo widgets) avaiable for ecplise (free version)? If avaiable what set up needs to be done to make the widgets visible.

Configuration of my setup

Eclipse: Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819

IBM WDT v.8.5.5.1

WDT file: wdt-update-site_8.5.5.1.v20131031_0202.zip

Installed on Windows 7 OS.

I have installed eclipse (kepler version from ecplise.org) and IBM WAS developer tool(https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/wasdev/entry/download). Created a web project using the below workflow in Eclipse. File->New->Web Project Project Template: Dojo toolkit. Programming Model: Client side only. Dojo Project Summary: The following dojo toolkit:Dojo Toolkit SDK 1.9.0 for WebSphere will be copied into this project location: dojo

The above work creates a project with a folder \webcontent\dojo and subfolder container dojo specific files in the explorer window.

help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

regards Frank

I am able to see the dojo widget (drag and drop) palette. It was only visible after I created an HTML page within the project.
