When working on JSP pages I have found that compile time errors in the JSP’s are underlined in red and Eclipse also provides a description of the cause of the problem.

However, problems (in JSP pages) accross the entire project are not displayed in the Problem View panel underneath. I have searched through all options and cannot find a way to get these errors to show up. This makes it very tedious to debug if for example you change the name of a class that is refered to by about 20 JSP pages.

I am wondering, is there a solution to this?

There is a solution that we hope to address in MyEclipse 5.0. Not only add refactoring support, but we discussed rebuilding effected pages when something like this happened, but bceause JSP compile times are so much more expensive than class compile times, we are hesitant to make this a mandatory behavior.

Any reason why this works on some environments/installations and not others? We have a two machines with identical installations with different behavior.

I think I misunderstood your question then. I understood your question to be “When we refactor a class name, why aren’t the JSPs that use it either refactored OR marked with errors now that the name has changed”? Did you mean something else, can you clarify?
