Sometimes when using JSP with EL expressions and valid inline JavaScript, JavaScript validator produces false validation error: Syntax error, insert "}" to complete Block.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create JSP with following content:
<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="ShortCardView.printByPid(${card.pid});" />
<c:choose>
  <c:when test="${param.dontwait==null}">
  </c:when>
  <c:otherwise>
    <script type="text/javascript">window.onload=function(){window.print();window.close();};</script>
  </c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
2. Validate file.

There should be no errors but JavaScript validator shows error on the line 8 at semicolon before "</script>". Error disappears if I remove the 3rd line ("<input />" tag with EL expression).

I've installed also the latest maintenance build of WTP (wtp-M-3.3.2-20111117045640.zip) which fixes other annoying JSP+EL bugs - it did not help.
