When writing JSPs, the indentation is buggy:
- indentation is set to 2 spaces, no tabs but I get a tab when selecting some Java code and pressing TAB
- Undoing an indentation does not work – it looks like every 2nd line gets unindented
Platform: MyEclipse 3.7RC2 on fresh Eclipse 3.0M6 under Linux
Bye, Tino.
Actually, Undoing an indentation is quite dangerous since it scatters whitespace all over the place.
I found another problem with JSP formating.
My source code (jsp etc)lives in Linux. I setup the project (eclipse – myeclipse) in windows xp in another box
and use samba mount to access jsps. If I try to format jsps from inside myeclipse it puts all the html code lines in a
single line. Doesn’t affect the embedded java code (they preserve lines).
The problem is with end of line character difference between windows and Linux or any Unix OS.
So if I use unix2dos command on Linux box and convert the JSP to windows format and try to format again
it works fine. But it is a pain to convert every single JSP like that.Note: eclipse JDT provides file type conversion between different Operating Systems
(Menu Source ->Convert Line Delimiters To->Windows/Unix/Mac. But it is not available for myeclipse perspective
or on JSPs.Thanks
ManjuI believe the problem you are experiencing is that ME is adopting the EOL conventions of the platform (XP) and has no knowledge that your mounting a filesystem of a different OS (Linux). If ME supported the Menu Source ->Convert Line Delimiters To->Windows/Unix/Mac will this be sufficient for your conversion purposes?
Eclipse preserves the line endings of whatever OS the java file belongs, and still formats very nicely.
I would like to see the same behaviour with ME on jsp/xml. But till then or if it is too much work
I’m OK with the solution of ME supporting the Menu Source ->Convert Line Delimiters To->Windows/Unix/MacThanks
