I have in my work Eclipse 3.2.1, MyEclipse 5.1 and JDK 1.5.0_10.
I can´t put a breakpoint on my JSP files. When I try, open a dialog with a bookmark information.
I would like to know how I can enable the debugging for JSP files.
Kind regards,
Oséas Santana
Can you grab your configuration information from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation details and paste it here for me?
Also, do you have WTP, JST or WST installed by chance?
I am having the same problem and searched the forums looking for an answer. ie when I double click on a jsp page to insert a jsp breakpoint, a dialog box pops up “Add bookmark Enter bookmark name: ”
This is happening when I am doing the quickstart tutorial “Working With Web Projects – Quickstart” and the line of code that I am attempting to place a breakpoint on is:
Welcome to the world of JSPI also have a problem that I posted in the AJAX forum where I don’t have the button to select instant-on debugging. So maybe the problems are related??

C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exeJayne,
Your install actually looks pretty good. My instant guess is that you are using some other editors by chance and that’s why things aren’t jiving.1) Right click on your JSP page, go to Open With, and be sure you are selecting a JSP editor (MyEclipse JSP Visual Designer, or MyEclipse JSP Editor should work). And make sure you are double-clicking in the gutter, or try right-clicking and doing “Toggle breakpoint”.
2) As far as not having instant-on button. Make sure you are in the MyEclipse Perspective, and try doing a Window > Reset Perspective just to make sure.
In reference to point (1)
No, I’m definitely using MyEclipse Visual JSP Designer. I’m double clicking in the gutter and just get a prompt to add a bookmark. Right-clicking and selecting ‘toggle breakpoint’ doesn’t work either – ie when I select it, it still doesn’t create a breakpoint.Further searching of the forums shows there are at least 3 others who have a similar problem.
See:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-14038-highlight-bookmark.htmlThe other problem is, from the JSP editor I can only set break point within scriptlet code, I can _not_ set break point within plain HTML
and
In this picture, a break point was set in plain HTML(not within a <% %> scriptlet), but I can do the same thing with the spec I listed above, when I double click the left ruler, I was told to ‘Add bookmark’, when I right click the left ruler, and select ‘Toggle breakpoint’, nothing happened, no breakpoint set.
In reference to point (2)
I reset the perspective as you suggested and it doesn’t fix the problem. I am definitely having this problem in the MyEclipse perspective. My problem appears to be the same problem as quoted below (from Web/Ajax forum). Do you also suggest a re-install, or is there some other way??See: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-16056-highlight-instanton.html
In short, I do not see the “instant-on debugging button”. I do see the MyEclipse Web 2.0 Browser button, however, and it appears to work. Similarly, I do not see the JavaScript Scripts Inspector. If I walk through your AJAX tutorial, for example, I see that the AJAX monitor works fine, but see absolutely nothing in regards to debugging JavaScript. It’s as if it is not loaded/configured or something. I am sure that it is something basic/simple.
More info … while I can create a JavaScript application, I find that there is no ‘Debug As …” option for javascript.
To clarify, the JavaScript debugging is only available in the Professional version, that may be why you aren’t seeing it.
As to not being able to set breakpoints in JSP files, if you create a scriptlet:
<% String name = "Bob" %>can you set a breakpoint on that line?
Well, that’s disappointing – to put it mildly! Can I suggest that something in the tutorials makes it explicit that some steps only pertain to the Pro software? (Both the ‘working with web projects quickstart’ and ‘ajax debugging tutorial’ had instructions that I couldn’t follow because I don’t have the Pro version – but nowhere did it say I needed it!)
Last night, thinking it was an installation problem, I installed the all-in-one trial version which solved the problem. I assume that the trial version is pro, and that is why it works?
Yes I can set a breakpoint in a scriptlet – it looks like a regular breakpoint, rather than a jsp breakpoint, which is consistent with what you are saying.
The email from MyEclipse that I received on subscribing stated: “……Following is your MyEclipse software activation information required to upgrade trial or expired versions of the MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench to full feature status.”
It wasn’t clear to me that we were missing some features. Otherwise, it’s a great product, keep up the great work.
Thanks for your help – I’m glad to have an answer,

Yes, the trial enables all features.

You have a lot of good points above… it’s not very clear what is/isn’t included. I’m sorry for that frustration. I’ve made a note to the marketing department to clarify the language of the site and subscription emails.
FYI:
Correction: There was a problem with the installation, or at least a discrepancy between the all-in-one download and the plug-in standalone. The instant-on icon was not visible in the original down load of MyEclipse standalone plug-in.
With the new all-in-one download, the instant-on icon IS visible. But now when I click on it I get a message “SUBSCRIBER LEVEL PROBLEM: The operation you are running is only available to subscribers at the Professional level….”
This at least makes it clear what is going on, and is much better than what happened when I had just installed MyEclipse plug-in over the top of an existing version of Eclipse.
Thanks again.
