Eclipse 3.0, ME 3.8.1, JSTL 1.0, WinXP, Tomcat 5

The Editor JSP Styles settings are not working.

The only JSP tags that are being displayed in the correct colors are the “jsp:xxx” tags and the directive like ‘page’ and ‘taglib’.
All of the JSTL tags like “<c:if…>” are being shown in the HTML Tag colors.

Also: It would be really really nice if you could set the background color of JSP tag contents (like comment contents) so you can easily distinguish between JSP and HTML code in the editor. The Lomboz JSP editor does this and it’s very nice.

This is a known bug we should hopefully get fixed in the next service release. The enhancement of differentiating background colors is also known thakn you for reporting them though.

I tried setting everything so it has a black background with bright foregrounds. On tags like the one below, the coloring I set for the JSP style is not correct. Everything from the = sign to the last quote still has a black foreground, and I cannot find anywhere in the prefs where this can be changed. Every color setting for every editor has a non-black foreground.

Where can this be fixed? Is this a bug? I am on version 3.8.3

Thanks!

Thanks for the response Riyad! I viewed the post and will try the steps outlined in it. When I was searching the forums, I never found this one. Will save it now…

Thanks again!
