Hi,

I am trying to import an existing (large) project into a MyEclipse Web project. When I do so, the JSP editor does not recognize the taglibs that I have set up (it highlights the unknown tags in yellow with an “unknown tag” error). The JARs are on the module’s classpath and the JSP’s have a URI which matches the one declared in the JAR’s TLD.

Since this is an existing project and I’m evaluating switching our team from another IDE, I don’t have much interest in changing the project’s structure, although I have seen some posts indicating that if the TLD files are placed in WEB-INF/lib, that ME can detect them. Is there any other way to make it “see” them without altering web.xml?

Thanks

Are you importing your exisitng project using MyEclipse’s import functionality ? MyEclipse import can only be used for Project created in Eclipse/MyEclipse. You will have to create a new Project in MyEclipse and drag and drop bits from your old project into this new project.

Hi,

It’s an IntelliJ project.

IntelliJ project cannot be imported into MyEclipse directly. Can you create a new Project in MyEclipse and drag and drop bits from your old project into this new project. See if that resolves the problem.

Hi Nipun,

Thanks — that’s what I did. The project works reasonably well… I can build, I can find declarations with the F3 key, etc. The only obvious thing that’s missing is the taglib recognition. What I am hoping to avoid is unzipping/extracting the TLD’s from the JAR’s from my project and having to put them in a magic directory or declare them in web.xml. Shouldn’t ME just “see” the TLD’s in the JAR’s in the classpath?

Thanks!

If your TLD’s are in a JAR, ME should still see them. Just make sure the JAR in under the META-INF directory.
