Any good (possibly free and/or visual) JSP editor ...

Is there any good JSP editor? Need one to position HTML component and
possibly by drag-and-drop to encapsulate one component inside another.

Thanks,
Jimmy
P.S.
Got some legacy JSP code with thousands of line ... getting bit tired
to edit them through VI.

NetBeans <www.netbeans.org> "understands" JSP and is open source.

The Visual Web Pack for NetBeans will do this but only for JSF pages.

Well, layouting HTML is not trivial, specially variety of CSS
implementations makes it more than pain in the butt.

Not to mention that if your JSP contain states, how you edit without
having your page in some spesific state? gVim++ is not bad choice for
editing... :)

You might find that an HTML editor might serve, since JSP
is (in one interpretation) just HTML with some extra
embedded "stuff".
