It looks like this bug works fine in WTP 1.5.x however, I was able to see the problem reported here in WTP 2.x & WTP 3.x so it looks like a later fix caused a regression with this bug.  Rather than open the old bug since it was fixed in WTP 1.5.x, I'm cloning the bug so that it's open in WTP 3.x.


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #125366 +++

[Using Eclipse 3.1.1, build M20050929-0840, JST 1.0.0]

If a tag has a variable declared with <scope>AT_BEGIN</scope>, the variable should have a scope from the open tag to the end of the document. So if tag <foo> creates a variable called bar, this code should work:

<foo></foo>
<%= bar %>

But eclipse doesn't see variable "bar" after the closing tag.

The only way to make it work is to use the short form for the foo tag, like this:

<foo />
<%= bar %>

This works. But there is no workaround if the tag really needs a body to work properly, like this:

<foo>Required Body <%= bar %></foo>
<%= bar %>

In this case, the first "bar" usage is accepted, but the second usage is rejected.
