Working with Tomcat 5.0.14 and JSF. The JSP editor/verifier chokes on the new jsp directives, showing them as errors with a nasty lil red ball, UGH!!! but when I deploy the app, it works fine.

That’s because, as you’ve noticed, the JSP editor is JSP 1.2, not 2.0 compliant. To get around the “nasty red ball”, you can turn off JSP compilation on the JSP editor preferences tab. We’ll soon be looking at JSP 2.0 support as more containers become compliant.

Thanks, that helped!!!

Guys, .tag files are a godsend. They are definitely helping me overcome some of my Struts/JSF indecision mess.

We also use JSF and JSP 2.0
Not much support for the JSPX syntax for now in MyEclipse.
Actually turning off the JSP compilation does not help for the “big red ball” syndrome.
When will you support the current J2EE 1.4 spec, including JSP 2.0 complete syntax.

Significant internal changes are required to make the jump from JSP 1.2 -> JSP 2.0. We have been investing very heavily to make this move (e.g., complete rewrite of JSP editor internals). I can not formally state when this will be available but I expect in the Jan release.
