It would appear that there is a JSP parse issue in MyEclipse 5.1.1 GA / Eclipse 3.2.2 (Just ran Eclipse software update to ensure I had latest versions). I have not been able to test this on other systems, but I received a number of such warnings after upgrading from a previous version of Eclipse (afraid I don’t have exact version number, might have been 3.1)

The following is code illustrating the issue as it appears both at my work and home setup using the versions mentioned above: (The project was fully generated in eclipse, and not otherwise modified)

<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html:html lang="true">
  <head>
    <html:base />
    
    <title>index.jsp</title>

    <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

  </head>
  <body>


    <!-- This works fine -->
    <% try { %>
    <%    } catch(Exception e_) {
        }    %>


    <!-- This works fine -->
    <% try { %>
    <logic:iterate id="">
    </logic:iterate>
    <%    } catch(Exception e_) {
        }    %>
        
    <!-- This displays the following warnings in Eclipse-->
    <!--     Syntax error, insert "}" to complete Block -->
    <!--     Invalid character used in text string ( < ) -->
    <% try { %>
    <logic:iterate id="">
        <logic:iterate id="">
        </logic:iterate>
    </logic:iterate>
    <%    } catch(Exception e_) {
        }    %>
        
    <!-- A workaround for those that face a similar issue -->
    <c:catch var="e">
        <logic:iterate id="">
            <logic:iterate id="">
            </logic:iterate>
        </logic:iterate>
    </c:catch>
    <c:if test="${null != e}">
    </c:if>

  </body>
</html:html>

In other words, the parse error appears when 2 sets of <logic:iterate> are wrapped in a <% try/catch %> Does this appear in other system setups as well?

I have found a similar report in the https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/jsp-syntax-error-quot-insert-to-complete-body-quot-incor/&highlight=complete+block thread, but the specifics are a bit different.
