Hello,

I’ve grown frustrated with template auto-inserts and I would like to disable them. For example, when I type ‘<%’ i would like it to do nothing. Currently it automatically inserts ‘ %>’ following my ‘<%’.

I have attempted to disable this behavior by going to the preferences panel under:
Preferences > MyEclipse > Files & Editors > JSP > JSP Templates
then unchecking the checkbox next to each template row, and unchecking “Automatically insert” inside the edit panel of each item.

Despite making these changes to my preferences, there is no change in the behavior. I’ve looked around in the preferences and have been unable to find anything else which will disable the auto-inserts.

I’ve searched the forums here and the web in general and have found no resources to help with this problem =(

I’m using:
Eclipse 3.2.1

MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench
Version: 5.1.0 GA
Build id: 20061111-5.1.0-GA

I have no other plugins except those that came automatically with the standard Eclipse + MyEclipse.

If anyone is familiar with this problem and needs any additional information, please let me know what you need and I’ll gladly provide it =)

I would be most grateful for any assistance; thanks in advance =)

At this time you cannot turn off this feature, it’s like the auto-tag completion in the HTML editor. I have filed a bug about this though, sorry for the annoyance.

Thanks, it would relieve a ton of frustration, especially since sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn’t (e.g., when inserting a JSTL expression in a Javascript block in the head section of a JSP).

If it always did it or always did not, I could become adapted to it’s behavior. I can type pretty quick so I’d prefer to just turn it off if it became possible to do so. =)

Thank you =)
