I have the following valid jsp file. But jsp editor shows error for “else” tag as syntax error on token “else”, delete this token.

Please advise me how to disable this error without modifying the code.

environment: myeclipse 4.0 and eclipse 3.1 and tomcat 5.5.12.

You need to use braces:
```
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
%>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<base href="<%=basePath%>">

<title>My JSP 'MyJsp.jsp' starting page</title>

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<meta http-equiv="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2,keyword3">
<meta http-equiv="description" content="This is my page">


</head>

<body>
<%

int i=0;
i++;
System.out.println("i is "+i);



%>
<%if(i==1){ %>
Active
<%}else if(i==3){ %>
Pending
<%}else{ %>
Inactive
<%}%>

</body>
</html>
```
We do recognize that this is valid code however and I will file the issue.
