Description Wang Jialiang

There is feature I have been long for quite a long time, since 0.7 actually. Like in XML editor, I could add a whitespace in code asist activation trigger in
Preferences/Web And XML/XML Files/XML Sources, so that I could get element attribute assist when I edit a xml file.

However, this is not available in jsp file. In jsp editor settings, I was supposed to go to the setting panels of HTML editor and XML editor. 

What I want is when I type "<h:commandButton >" there could be a list of attributes to select. This feature has been added in many jsp editors, even BEA workshop jsp editor which originally extends the wtp jsp editor.

If any further information is required, please let me know.

Adding the space in the "Prompt when these characters are inserted" from the Content Assist section of the HTML Editor preference page seems to do the job appropriately.

Please reopen if that's not the point of this bug.
