A simple search and replace should do that, but in this special case
it's not really necessary. You can use single quotes as well to delimit
your HTML attributes.

You can disable plugins in the configuration manager, but be aware that
PDT requires _a lot_ of them. A fresh Eclipse installation is quite
small already, I don't think you can slim it even more.
