Build Identifier: 20110218-0911 The current syntax highlighting treat all jsp the same and does not handle well for special tags, like struts tags. Take the following as an example: <p><s:if test="balance<=0">Error</s:if></p> This works perfect and is correct for struts, but Eclipse just treat jsp like xml, so the '<' within the struts tag's attribute will mess up the syntax highlighting. Eclipse warns error and make the whole screen of text underlined with red lines. That's really annoying because the text becomes hard to read. Even if Eclipse text editor doesn't support special tags like struts tags, I wish Eclipse would provide an option for us to turn off the syntax highlighting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use correct struts tags within the jsp document, but makes the whole document invalidate with xml specified syntax, e.g.: <a<s:if test="isLink"> src="/somelink/page.html">Link</a</s:if><s:else>name="anchor" /</s:else>> 2. Eclipse text editor gives warning and its syntax highlighting doesn't work for the rest of the document
Hi and thanks for your bug report. We've fixed the problem with less thans in attribute values in Indigo as part of Bug 345999. So your scenario of <p><s:if test="balance<=0">Error</s:if></p> will work. However, the other part of this where the end tag is conditionally generated is already an acknowledged problem outlined by Bug 152620. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 152620 ***
