hi there,

i have a large working jsp application and i’d like to use myeclipse to edit my existing jsp files.

Could someone please outline the steps that i’d need to take to be able to open an existing jsp page and have code completion work ?

i’ve looked at creating a new web project but that doesn’t seem to allow me to use and existing set of code ?

thanks in advance …

mrdo,
Can you clarify what exactly you are looking to code complete?

When creating a new Web project, you can un-select ‘Use default location’, using Browse buton to point to the lowest directory in your source tree, and have ME gather the required libs etc. from that sourcetree. Additional libraries can later be added to the project.

hi there and thanks for the replies.

@shalini – i’d like to be able to create a string object and then have the methods available to that object pop up after i type [object].

@huisma13 – thanks ! i’ll give that a try …

You should be able to do that using scriplets. I tested this by pasting a JSP created outside the IDE in a web project created in MyEclipse and it worked.
Do you get any errors when trying to code complete? Are there any errors in the log file located at workspace dir > .metadata > .log?
Can you list out the steps in detail to replicate the issue? This will help me replicate the issue internally.
Thank you.
