This is minor but I always get the

Tag (base) should be an empty-element tag.

warning in my JSP pages. I searched the forums and someone reported the same problem back in 2007, but nothing after that. Here is a sample code snippet:
```
<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

<%
    String path = request.getContextPath();
    String basePath = request.getScheme() + "://"
            + request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort()
            + path + "/";
%>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="copy.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://com.tec/component" prefix="tec"%>

    <f:view>
        <f:loadBundle basename="com.tec.bundle.MessageBundle" var="bundle" />
        <head>
            <base href="<%=basePath%>">

            <title><h:outputText
                    value="#{bundle.title} - #{bundle['admin.pageTitle']}" />
            </title>

        </head>
```

I also get a similar error with the meta tag. See code below.
```
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
```

Steven,

‘Base’ and ‘Meta’ tags are empty elements, so they should have closing tag in it. For XHTML 1.0 DOCTYPE, you need to add ‘/>’ at the end of these tags.

<base href=”<%=basePath%>” />
<meta http-equiv=”pragma” content=”no-cache” />

Our latest version is MyEclipse 2015 CI, based on Eclipse Luna (4.4). I strongly recommend you download MyEclipse 2015 to take advantage of many bug fixes and enhancements we made since the MyEclipse 8.x release. If you are currently holding a license for MyEclipse, then the same license can be used for MyEclipse 2015 too, as our licenses are time based not version based. Please take a look at this link for more information on MyEclipse 2015.

Let us know if you see any issues in MyEclipse.
