The Spring UI for Eclipse project (http://springui.sourceforge.net/) uses IProject.findType() to validate that the specified class name exists within the current project. It would be nice if this was done in the web.xml and strugs-config.xml files to validate that the XML contained valid class names.

Andy,
Great suggestion, these are the types of enhancements we are shooting for, to make things easier for the developer.

Sounds great indeed. For struts files this should be extended even further.
– With forwards to JSP’s check if the jsp exists
– When using tiles to forward to, check if the tile exists
– for a tile, check if the (jsp) pages a tile is composed of exists

These are current issues that with small mistakes can lead to a lot of additional deployments. And since a deployment in our case takes several minutes, a few small typos are really annoying

Ronald,
