Among other things. I can add Struts-EL jars & taglibs manually and the pages compile, deploy, run, etc. I’m looking for something like:
- Right click Web Project.
- Click MyEclipse -> Add Struts Capabilities…
- Where there is currently “Struts specification:” and three radio buttons, there could also be a checkbox “Use Struts-EL”.
Checking “Use Struts-EL” would cause struts-el.jar and the appropriate TLD’s (if selected) to be automatically copied to WEB-INF/lib, in addition to the other libraries required by Struts.
A couple of other notes:
– Struts-EL implies JSTL (jstl.jar & standard.jar)
– There should also be new JSP templates – “Standard JSP using Struts-EL X.X [with a form]” – or maybe a project with “Struts-EL” capabilities implies the use of the EL TLD’s in the JSP template
– Not sure if Struts-EL was available in Struts 1.0. If not, the checkbox would be grayed out if Struts 1.0 was selected.
