MyEclipse 3.8.4

I am in the process of creating a custom tag library. Everything works great except I have to close and restart Eclipse after editing the .tld for the changes to take effect.

If I try to use the newly added tags I get a compile error. Nothing seems to help. I tried cleaning the project and refreshing the project.

It would be really nice not to have to restart Eclipse.

If you need any more info, just let me know…

We are aware of the issue (I ran into it a while ago) and it just seems to be some aggressive caching down in the depths of MyEclipse w.r.t. to the taglibs that isn’t getting cleaned out. We are looking into improving that in a future release, sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem, just try to make a good product better…

MyEclipse 3.8.4

I, too, am developing a custom tag library. I’ve found that most of my update issues are addressed when I close, then open the project. I can live with this. What’s driving me nuts, though, is the indication that a setter can’t be detected for a given attribute. It doesn’t indicate all attributes, and I can’t seem to determine a pattern:

<diw:text labelText="Test1" uniqueName="datest" otherValidation="whynot" dumb="why" rqfield="true"/>

‘uniqueName’, ‘labelText’, and ‘otherValidation’ do not get flagged by the editor. But, ‘dumb’ and ‘rqfield’ are flagged, indicating that no ‘setter’ may be found. The only required attribute of the bunch is ‘labelText’. In any case, Tomcat seems to be able to find the appropriate accessor methods. Help!

Well…. appears that a close and open of the ide has cured my problem. Still, the close and open of the project appears to pick up any tld changes. Again, I can live with this. Thanks.

Have you tried closing your project, restarting MyEclipse and rebuilding the project? I have found that while closing/reopening a project does help sometimes with cached TLD values, it doesn’t help all the time and still leaves me with errors, so I have to restart and rebuild to get it to stop.
