Hi,

I’m on MyEclipse 4.1GA. I’m seeing some weird behaviour with the JSP Editor when I’m editing a JSP.

When I’m editing the uri attribute of a tag library definition, the editor slows to a crawl, i.e. the editor takes a long time to synchronize what I’m typing with the display.

E.g. if I change the uri definition below

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.everbright.com/portal" prefix="portal" %>

to

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.everbright.com/ui" prefix="portal" %>

I actually see the letters from portal disappearing one by one at the rate of about 1 very 5 seconds, and then the letters ui appearing at the same rate!

Otherwise all other functions work fine, even when I’m editing the prefix attribute of the tag library definition.

Seems like some intensive checks are being performed for tag library definitions? Any workarounds for this? What I do now is to type out the tag library definition I want to insert in another (non-JSP) page, and then do a cut-and-paste over the definition I want to replace.

You are exactly right to the assessment, the editor is trying to resovle the tag real-time against all the project resources as you type, we have a request to turn this off but it just hasn’t been addressed yet.

okie! That would be the last hurdle to cross towards the best JSP editor I’ve used so far 🙂
