Hi !

After working with MyEclipse for two months mow, I came up with the following list of goodies which would be really helpful (in order of importance):

1.) open java files from the struts-config.xml Editor (Outline View) by (double-)clicking on the class name
2.) likewise, open java files from the JSP editor (e.g. import statements or inline java code) with Ctrl-click like in the Eclipse Java editor
3.) code-completion for message keys (package + key names) in JSP pages (<b:message key=”com.sun.java.SomeKey”)
4.) code-completion for import statements (package + class names) in JSP pages

As you can see, most of these items relate to a tighter integration between Java and JSP code.

Actually, some of the items are spontaneous questions from colleagues if this or that is possible, after seeing the feature set of MyEclipse in action.
Read this as “98% perfect” 8-))

Probably most of these items have already been requested by others, although I couldn’t find them.

Regards, Jochen

1) Interesting idea…
2) What version of ME are you using?
3) Good idea
4) Good idea, also automatic auto-importing will be back in 3.8.3, so it should help the need for this.

Using Eclipse 3.0.1 + MyEclipse 3.8.2 – why ?

Jochen,

There’s a very lightweight eclipse plugin called AnyEditTools (http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/) that does exactly what you want in 1 & 2. I’ve been using it with ME 3.8.2 for about a month now with no problems.

Cheers,
-Kit

Thanx – I’ll have a look at that !

Greets, Jochen
