I hav installed eclipse 3.0 RC3 and MyEclipse version 3.7.101 on Linux. I was following online tutorial for helloWorld for webprojectdemo.html and I have noticed:
1) I don’t have code complete for JSP or HTML
2) Optional “Preview” button at the bottom of source view is not there.
How can i turn these two options on?

[Scott Anderson]

The Preview is not available on Linux in 3.8 Beta 1. It will be available in 3.8 Beta 2. The code completion should be working by default, so perhaps you haven’t created a MyEclipse Web Project? Can you please post your full configuration as requested in our ‘Posting Guidelines’ thread at the top of the forum? That will give us a starting point for diagnosing the problem.

Auto complete is not working on window XP and Linux, however I can use CTRL+SPACE for individual tags. Also auto import is not working. I am using default for everything. This seems to be an

My configuration/config.ini :
osgi.splashPath = platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform
eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform
eclipse.buildId=I200406192000
eof=eof
I am using tomcat 5.0 as web server
eclipse was freshly installed
I have Vi plugins which does not work with myeclipse.
I am using JDK1.4.2_04
My .log file has following lines on exit:

Some of my lines are mixed up. At the end of my post I have content of .metadata/.log

[Riyad Kalla]

Can you post a small sample JSP file that exhibits the behavior you are seeing, and also indicate where you are trying to use completion, and what isn’t working correctly?

[Farhad]

I am following http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/webprojectdemo.htm tutorial. At screen to create helloWorld.jsp I am adding HelloWorld bean which according to tutorial would do auto import get added to jsp page. This does not happen. Also for example if I type “<” after html tag “<body>” I am supposed to get an optional drop down with all html tags, which does not happen for me either.
I am adding the helloWorld.jsp, but it has been created by myEclipse. I have installed a fresh copy of eclipse and myEclipse. Is it possible that it works for you since upgrading from older version would have some preference residue that I don’t have (and you do)?

<%@ page language=”java” import=”java.lang.*,java.util.*” %>
<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+”://”+request.getServerName()+”:”+request.getServerPort()+path+”/”;
%>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”>
<html>
<head>
<base href=”<%=basePath%>”>

I think part of the confusion is that you need to invoke autocomplete manually, it doesn’t popup by itself. Use CTRL-SPACE and let me know if that fixes it.

[Farhad]

Yes CTRL-SPACE works (That is not what the tutorial indicate). How about auto import. I don’t see that from source menu. If I use eclipse java prespective, I would have it, but not in myeclipse. How can I turn auto-import on.

[Riyad Kalla]

It is always on, you can find this out if you try and use a class that isn’t imported, for example, autocomplete ArrayList, it should be added as an import.
