When working on a JSP file, I would like to have it automatically format my file. If I right-click, I can select “Format, Document”. For JAVA, I can change the formatting rules. How do I change the formatting rules for JSP files or do they use the same preferences?

Thanks

Michael

Michael,

Try modifying the settings here:
Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Editors > HTML > HTML Source

Also if you right-click and choose “Cleanup Document”. That gives you some other formatting options as well.

is there a plan to implement any more detailed formatting options for HTML / JSP similar to those available for JAVA?

JSP is particularly susceptible to becoming unreadable with too many levels of indentation as well as performance problems due to page-bloat with all the tab-characters littering large pages.
