I am still having the problem. I have seen:

I have tried restarting with -clean. I have a near-vanilla install:
SuSE10
Eclipse Version: 3.2.1 Build id: M20060921-0945
MyEclipse Version: 5.0.1 Build id: 20060810-5.0.1-GA
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)

Only reason I say “near” is that I added the tomcatPluginV31.zip.

I still get the error Save Failed:NULL when saving:
1) a JSP created in a previously created project
2) a newly created JSP

I also get the file created in the same directory as the file being edited, as another user pointed out:
.<file_in_question>.jsp_wd3_init.html

I am not seeing a fix for this yet though. Has everyone else just turned back to Eclipse 3.1 and MyEclipse 4.1? Or was everyone else able to fix with the -clean option that does not seem to be the remedy with me here?

Thanks,
Rob Mazur

There’s no real fix yet, but if you’re on Linux you can set the environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the empty string before starting Eclipse. E.g. I start-up Eclipse with:

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=""
/home/arjan/programs/eclipse/eclipse -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M

If you’re on Windows there’s no workaround as far as I know. The few Windows users I know have indeed reverted back to MyEclipse 4.1.

Hello guys,

We are working through the Save Failed: NULL issues by our next release 5.0.3. However, in the mean time there isn’t a reason for you to switch back to 4.1 just for this issue. Instead you can simply change your JSP file editor from the Visual JSP Designer to the plain JSP Source Editor. The MyEclipse JSP Editor doesn’t have the same issues that you are seeing with the Visual JSP Designer.

Go to Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations > *.jsp
And then “MyEclipse JSP Editor” and select “Default”.

Sorry for the inconveinence and hope this helps.
