Hello. Newest release looks great! I thought that I read in prior notes on your site that you were going to include some kind of editor for .tag file development.

When I do this now the text is just in a basic text editor within MyEclipse.

Any info on this?

Mike,
I’m not aware of a tag-specific editor that was suppose to ship in 4.0, but we are aware of the need for one. I don’t have any experience with .tag files, but if they are just XML files (like the old TLD files) then you can edit your Workbench Content Type mappings and relate .tag files to the MyEclipse XML Editor to get a little more help while editing them.

.tag files are a way to create JSP tags without java classes. Much easier and cleaner. They really just contain JSP type tags (JSP, JSF, JSTL). If I am reading your previous comment correctly is there a way I can edit .tag files with the JSP editor? Is there an option for that? That would surely do the trick!

Partially anyway. You will need the JSP editor to interpret the <%@ taglib prefix=”htm” tagdir=”/WEB-INF/tags/htm” %> form of the directive.

Should be a pretty quick mod I would think!! 😉

Nice job on 4 M3!!

Thanx.

Try associating .tag files with the MyEclipse JSP editor by going to Window > Prefs > General > Content Types and drilling down from there. No promisses though, we don’t officially support them yet.
