Eclipse JSP and Code Insight

Thread view: 
Robert Mazur - 24 Feb 2004 19:05 GMT
Trying out Eclipse (version 2.1) again....loving it except for one
item:

Is there any code insight available when building a JSP using Eclipse?
If I could perform this option, I would be sold!  But searching
archives here and at Eclipse's site, I am not seeing this ability.

Thanks,
Rob

Have you tried playing with the XMLBuddy pluggin and getting the right
Scheme/DTD and writing JSP Documents (XML form not
old style)?

I believe XMLBuddy or maybe it was one of the other
plugins had such a feature to associate a DTD with a file
type, thus providing a way to write clean JSP code.

HTH,

p.s. Let me know what you find.

Thanks for the response Paul.

Yes, I have tried the XMLBuddy plug-in.  Though it provides some
helpful syntax coding, it doesn't have the code insight.  Meaning, if
I have:

<%
 System.
%>

When I press that dot, I'd love to see the possible options, just like
when editing java source files.  I've left a note in Eclipse's website
newsgroups as well.  Maybe a favorable answer will surface.

Still looking...

Paul (and folks),

There is a plugin called Lomboz:

http://www.objectlearn.com/products/index.jsp

It is free and allows for the code insight I was looking for.  Rather
than being just an editor that you can associate JSP's to, it is a
full "concept" of how to handle J2EE projects within Eclipse.  So it
handles its own project structure, has wizards for servlets, JSPs,
EJB's, SOAP, etc).

With some configuration Lomboz integrates with whatever app server you
are using as well.  Being new to Eclipse, and given that Lomboz has
some required configuration, I managed to mess things up a bit!  :-)
But it *does* do that little thing I wanted, that being code insight
on JSP's.

Check it out.  It looks like a fun tool.

Wow this looks cool.
Thanks for following up.
