Summary:
Comment controls in XML and JSP views.

Explination:
When java editing, highlight lines and hit CTRL-/ to get rid of them, or CTRL-\ to bring them back. This would be super nice to have in XML and JSP as well, as there are often times you wish to get rid of some code to check it. One thing I learned from IntelliJ’s commented in JSPs is that it uses the server side comments <%– so as to never execute the code.

Thanks

Yeah. I’ve been meaning to request this for JSPs (though I think I requested xml comments earlier..)
This would be a very very handy feature.

[Panagiotis Korros]

Yes I agree!

Guys I got word back that we are hoping for this in the 2.8 release, but no promises just yet.

I wanted to add my name to this “petition” as well. As someone new to Eclipse I actually wasted a bunch of time on Friday searching my code for errors until I finally realized that it wasn’t an error. Instead, the code that I thought was commented (using Ctrl-Shift-/) was commented using HTML style comment tags.

Also, I noticed that under Preference>MyEclipse>Editors>JSP>JSP Templates there is a setting for JSP comment that looks like this:

Name: JSP comment
Description: JSP comment <!– –>
Pattern: <!– ${cursor} –>

Is there a setting that will allow the key combination to comment correctly?

Thanks, Frank

Frank,
I am looking into this, thank you.

Just wanted to make it clear that I am referring to auto-commenting in a JSP document. The auto-commenting works fine for .java files. In JSP files the comment command creates an html style block comment.

Thanks,

No need to clarify, I was able to reproduce it from your report.
