Up until 3.8. RC2, compile errors in the JSP’s were flagged in the IDE,
but starting from version 3.8.0GA it is for example possible to define a variable twice in a JSP without getting any error markings.

This has the effect that I can no longer trust MyEclipse to catch/flag all errors in my JSP’s. Some errors will only be visible when the pages are compiled.

Can you provide us an example page that demonstrates the problem? We made a change in 3.8GA to use the latest version of Jasper to do our compilations. The reason behind the change was the converse of your problem: “MyEclipse flagged by double declaration as an error, but it works fine in Tomcat”. Now we’re in perfect alignment with what Tomcat will support.

Seems like you are right on that…..

It was some cached/precompiled Tomcat JSP’s that caused me to think this was a bug.
So you can safely close this ‘issue’.
