Today, we just had to switch a small developer team of 5 people from MyEclipse 7.1 to Netbeans 6.5 because a client requested that we develop a new project using jsp 2.0’s expression language.
We immediately found out that MyEclipse JSP Editor does not provide any code assist/completion support for EL. Namely:
${some code goes here but it is not autocompleted}
whereas Netbeans easily brings up options to use any of either implicit functions and ones from the class declared with a <jsp:useBean> tag.
I am aware that EL is rather old against JSF, but it is still very powerful. At least I’m sure and confident that we will be using this technology for at least one client over a period of at least 2 years.
