I’ve been trying to figure out how the auto import works in JSP editing in the MyEclipse perspective and
have noticed that some classes will auto-import and some won’t. I was able to auto-import BigDecimal just fine, but some of my classes won’t. I have a JacORB generated class named “ChatHelper” (a helper object for my Chat class) – if my current project imports this ChatHelper class from a jar file it doesn’t seem to generate the import automatically even though the class name comes up with Ctrl-Space. However, if instead of importing it from the jar file I have a project dependancy on the project that generated the jar file, then it seems to work.

Is there any known flakiness in the auto-import function of the JSP editor? I’m using the 4.0.100 M1 release of MyEclipse. After getting completely hooked on auto-import in editing regular Java classes I’d love to get it rock solid in JSP editing as well.

I added a jar to the build path of the project and imported its classes into the JSP and that worked out fine w/ proper import statements being generated.
Could you download 4.1M2 and see if it works for you?
