For these issues, I am currently using the MyEclipse 4.1 with Eclipse version 3.1.0.

Suppose I have the following jsp files:

a.jsp:
<%@include file=”b.jsp” %>

b.jsp:
<%@page import=”mypackage.*” %>
<%

bah.StaticMethod();

%>

… then, b.jsp compiles and validates just fine, but a.jsp will underline the include and complain about bah not existing.

If I change a.jsp to the following:

<%@page import=”mypackage.*” %>
<%@include file=”b.jsp” %>

Then, everything works fine … so for some reason, when validation is parsing a jsp file, it does not take into account the include’s imports.

Secondly, the validation does not always seem to work right — I have to sometimes close the jsp files and re-open them for the validation to show correct information, despite the fact that I would modify the file and re-save it (which would cause validation to run again).

Does anyone else have experience with these issues?

What is your Eclipse Build ID from your Help > About menu?

Also what is your MyEclipse Build ID From your MYEclipse > About menu?

Additionally is “bah” a class with the static method “StaticMethod()” on it, or is it an instance? This is why in my email to you I asked for a better example, this is still not clear to me.

bah.java:

package mypackage;

public class bah {
public static void StaticMethod() {
doStuff();
}
}

Eclipse build ID: I20050627-1435
MyEclipse build ID: 20060122-4.1-GA

I cannot reproduce this, please point out where my code differs from yours:

bah.java

package com.test;

public class bah {
    public static void StaticMethod() {
        /* no-op */
    }
}

a.jsp

<%@ include file="b.jsp" %>

b.jsp

<%@ page import="com.test.bah" %>

<%
 bah.StaticMethod();
%>

Everything builds/validates fine. Eclipse 3.1.1/MyEclipse 4.1/JDK 1.5.0_05/Windows XP Pro

ok, the case is a bit more obscure that I originally thought. If i take b.jsp, and import something else (ie javax.servlet.*) so that b.jsp does not compile, then run validation on b.jsp, then a.jsp …. then change b.jsp so that it is correct (import com.test.bah), b.jsp validates fine, but a.jsp (which I still have open) still shows an error with the import file, even if I resave and revalidate this file. But if I close a.jsp, and reopen it, it seems to work fine.
