I reopened a JSP file after I installed MyEclipse 4.0.0 and the JSP editor complains that I need to insert a “}” to complete the body. That is incorrect, the code runs fine and the eclipse parens matching feature confirms the matching curly braces. I get the error on a simple block like:

<%for(int productCounter = 0; productCounter < selectedProductsBean.getProductsSize(); productCounter++)
{
%>
<tr>
<TD CLASS=”clsGridItem” width=10% align=”left”>
<%=selectedProductsBean.getProductName(productCounter)%>
</TD>
</tr>
<%
} //this curly brace gets error
%>

Eclipse Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435

MyEclipse JSF Support
Version: 4.0.0
Build id: 20050829-4.0.0-GA

No other plugins.

TIA for any help.

I can’t reproduce this problem, I think the error is a red-herring and your problem is infact on another line. Can you send me the entire page to look at: support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad, be sure to link to this thread so I know why I’m getting it.

sure

I was able to fix the error by removing the space around your <style> tag at the top (top and bottom you had extra new line chars, I removed them) and then I put the } on the same line as the open/close scriptlet tag:
<%}%> and the error disappeared.

A little extra whitespace here or there? It sounds like the parser needs some tweaking. Anything between <% and %> probably should ignore spaces unless it’s like <% //” this comment has spaces ” %>
But thanks for pointing out the issue.

I should clarify that I wasn’t justifying the errors, I agree with you they are likely erroenous. We’ll get them resolved for 5.0 most likely (big editor updates).
