Hi,

I’d like to see JSTL supported explicitly in MyEclipse. Currently it treats it like any tag library, which is mildly useful. However, I often make syntax mistakes in my JSTL expression language statements. If MyEclipse caught those, it’d be a big time saver.

For example, If I type the following

<c:out value="${model.property}"/>

I can have the attribute “value” filled in with autocomplete. But it would be really useful if MyEclipse would recognize and auto-complete the expression language. For example, if I forget a closing bracket, it’d be nice for MyEclipse to notify me.

A more complex request is to auto-complete properties of my model. I make this mistake all the time (mistype a property name). If there was some way to let MyEclipse know that the attribute “model” is mapped to a com.example.DataBean, then it could autocomplete and error-check the property names. This would save a lot of debugging error messages when deploying.

Will,
We are working on JSTL support for the 2.8 release, so hopefully when that comes out you can weigh in on what we are doing right and/or what you think needs some more polish. We always appreciate feedback from our users.

about jstl I guess:
– when I type a variable like session.* page.* etc Myeclipse browse declared variables.
– check syntax inside jstl
– when I open a tag the close tag is automatically closed
– jstl 1.1 support
– tag wizard. A Tag template.

I think jstl tecnology is powerfull, usefull and easy. In my opinion this is the java way about web RAD.
struts is the solution when we work in large project
