I’m using MyEclipse 2.5.1 and opened a Web project with the project wizard. I renamed the source folder from “Java Source” to src, and the web folder from “Web Module” to webContent.
When I add a JSP file using the New->Other->J2EE->JSP command path from the context menu, the first JSP wizard screen is filled in with proper default values, but the Next button is deactivated. No amount of editing will activate the button. The Finish button works, but, of course, the web.xml file never gets updated with the jsp information.
Also note… using the New-> JSP command path does not even show the Next button on the JSP wizard.
I had this working with the pre 2.5 version, but can’t find a solution in 2.5.1The second page of the JSP wizard page was removed from the wizard since it was really a hold-over from the Servlet wizard upon which it was based. While servlets must be entered into the web.xml file, JSP’s do not need to be. We received many comments from users that the additional page on JSP’s was confusing to them and since there appears to be no advantage to listing JSP’s in the web.xml file, we removed the functionality from the commercial release.
Your application should still work without any JSP entries in web.xml. Is there some reason that JSP’s must be included in the web.xml file that we overlooked?

MyEclipse SupportNo reason within my application… I was just following the tutorial in v2.5.1 Part 1 Step 4, and wondered if there was something wrong with my configuration.
thanks for the quick response…That darn web tutorial! 😉 It’s out of date and we’ve already logged an enhancement request to get it up to date. Hopefully we can get it done quickly as it appears that many of you are actually reading it. 🙂
Sorry for the confusion we caused in attempting to reduce the confusion surrounding JSP creation.
