I was wondering if there are plans to have tag discovery of tags like

<c:if> and <html:xxx> outside of making things a webproject

the myeclipse webproject format no longer fits our development model for our web app. so I have lost all of these features, they were a great time saving benefit.

I was wondering if there were plans to either make the webproject format less rigid or have this discovery feature outside of a web project.

I’ll have to answer this with a Definately YES but it will be a huge change, so it won’t happen over night, we need to get the next release out the door, then a polish up release and at the same time look at starting to roll in the flexible project support.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but trying to correctly support web editing functionalities outside of a web project is a nightmare’s worth of duplicating code so we likely will not enhance it any further. Right now if you treate the Java Project’s root the same a WebRoot folder, resolution should work, but we don’t support anything outside of that (having a dir under the project root be the webroot in a non-Web project).

if eclipse supported having linked folders at levels other then the root then I would be all set but they don’t so for now I’m stuck. We have each of our struts modules in a seperate cvs module so that we may include it or not within a web app, using a maven project file! so our project structure is like follows

   webapplication
       -src
          -java
          -webapp
            -WEB-INF
            -jsp
            -html
       -resources

   module
       -src
          -java
          -webapp
            -WEB-INF
            -module
              -jsp
              -html
       -resources

The core of the flexible project support will be “modules” so IIRC this will be supported.
