Hi,

I am having a problem getting the JSP editor to recognize custom tags in JSPs.

As an example, I have a page that is trying to use the core JSTL tags.
My WEB-INF/lib directory contains:
jstl-1.0.2.jar
standard-1.0.2.jar
The TLDs are in standard-1.0.2.jar.
My WEB-INF/web.xml has the following taglib directives:

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri&gt;
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/standard-1.0.2.jar</taglib-location>
</taglib>

and finally, my page content of interest:

…
<%@ taglib uri=”http://java.sun.com/jstl/core&#8221; prefix=”c” %>
…
<a href=”<c:url value=’/login/password.jsp?goHomeOnCancel=true’/>”> …

The MyEclipse JSP editor is not recognising any of the “c” prefixed tags. I am having similar problems with struts tags as well.

Environment:
Eclipse 3.0M3/MyEclipseIDE 3.6.2
MacOSX 10.2.8
java version “1.4.1_01”
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-69.1)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-24, mixed mode)

Thanks,

Steve Coy

Hi Steve,

I have entered an issue on this topic in our tracking system. If we can replicate this problem (should be easy) we’ll have a fix out in the maintenance release planned for late next week.

I know this is an old thread, but I’m having a similar issue. I run MyEclipse 4.1.1 GA and Eclipse 3.1.1. The JSP editor underlines nearly all tags with a yellow wavy line indicating errors such as “Unknown tag html:form” and “Unknown tag c:if”. Obviously, I’m using core tags as well as Struts tags.

Do I need to copy jar’s and tld’s somewhere specific for the editor to recognize them?

Thanks.

I got it. In short, I added standard.jar to the build path. Apparently, the project did not even need to be a WebProject to validate the XML.
