Is there a way to make MyEclipse recognize and compile tag files into usable custom tags with auto-completion and validation in the current or shortcomming version ?

I found a way to fix the validation and have the auto-completion partially work (for the tag file names, not the attributes) by declaring a tld for each tag file and then refering to the it using the uri instead of referring to the tagdir directly. Its a bit more work but its worth it.

Before:

<%@ taglib prefix="custom" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>

After:

 <%@ taglib prefix="custom" uri="http://myCompany/myProduct/jsp/tags/custom" %>

Together with the custom.tld file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">
    <description>A custom tag library.</description>
    <display-name>custom</display-name>
    <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
    <short-name>custom</short-name>
    <uri>http://myCompany/myProduct/jsp/tags/custom</uri>
    <tag-file>
        <name>error</name>
        <path>/WEB-INF/tags/error.tag</path>
    </tag-file>
</taglib>

Thanks for your solution szafir !!

I’ve tested it and that’s working !!!

That’s a very strange “feature” of MyEclipse 😕

Are your custom tags also considered as “unknown” by the MyEclipse JSP Editor ?? Or did you find a solution for that too ❓
