It appears that in MyEclipse 8.5 there is an error when formatting JSP pages.

Here is the error message:

“Format” did not complete normally. Please see the log for more information.
offset or length outside of string. offset: 6261, length: 104, string size: 6359

It appears, at this time, that the error is caused by having a <%= %> in a <script> block.
For example the whole page formats fine when the block below is removed:

function editUser(userId) {
        //This will add OR update a user with the permissions specified for the sharing
        document.mainForm.<%=AseBean.ACTION%>.value="shareEditUser";
        document.mainForm.UserId.value = userId;
        document.mainForm.submit();
    }

Thanks for any help!

matthewcat,
I could replicate this at my end. I have raised a PR with the dev team.
Thank you for bringing this up.

I am also getting a weird result (without an error message) when formatting JavaScript within a JSP.
Code before running a “Ctrl +I” of the selection:

<script type="text/javascript">     
         function upload() {
            mainForm.submit();
            
            document.body.innerHTML = "<div id='datasetUploadProgress'></div>";
            
            
            new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('datasetUploadProgress', 'DatasetUploadServlet',
                      {
                        method: 'post',
                        frequency: 1,
                        decay: 1,
                        parameters: { action: "datasetUploadProgress" }
                      });
            
            
            
            }         
</script>

Code after the formatter:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function upload() {
        mainForm.submit();

        document.body.innerHTML = "__tag_23$39_</div>";

        new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('datasetUploadProgress',
                'DatasetUploadServlet', {
                    method : 'post',
                    frequency : 1,
                    decay : 1,
                    parameters : {
                        action : "datasetUploadProgress"
                    }
                });

    }
</script>

I am referring to the seemingly random substitution (below):

“<div id=’datasetUploadProgress’>” to “__tag_23$39_</div>”

Thanks again for your previous quick response!
