It seems that every time I update my MyEclipse the JSP editor won’t open it throws errors. Same issue happened when I installed V4.03GA this morning. I tried restaring Eclipse with the -clean option, and I even added this in my ecliplse.ini file so Elipse starts with the -clean option by default. To install 4.03GA I just renamed my old MyEclipse directory and installed 4.30GA “fresh” not as an “upgrade”.

When I try to open a JSP in the either the “Clasic” or the JSP Designer I get this error:
Unable to create editor. This message may be due to a bug in the editor, not a problem with the file you are trying to edit. First close this error message and then use “Open With…” to open the file in a different editor. Reason for the failure: An error has occurred when initializing the input for the the editor’s source page.

When I click on the details button I get:
An error has occurred when initializing the input for the the editor’s source page.

I do a lot with JSP and fighting this issue every time is a major hassel. Is there -anything- that I can do to ensure this issue doesn’t happen when I upgrade MyEclipse? Also How do I get the JSP editor to work now?

TIA!

This is very frustrating we are sorry to hear this is happening. Can you post the information from MyEclispe > About > Configuration summary please?

Ahh, ok the reason you are getting this is because you are not running the final GA version of Eclipse 3.1 or 3.1.1, you are running a pre-3.1 release M-build. The best medicine here is to download Eclipse 3.1.1 SDK, unzip it to a new location, reinstall MyEclipse against that new directory and then setup a new workspace and pull your projects and settings into it using File > Import. If you choose to use the same workspace, be sure to add -clean to the command line you use to start Eclipse.

[rknechte]

My eclipse.ini has:
-clean -vmargs -Xmx700m -Xms200m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Dide.gc=true

[Riyad Kalla]

That’s fine, but you are still running an unfinal release of Eclipse, which is why you are having the problem.

[rknechte]

Ok cool, I’m downloading the new Eclipse 3.1.1 SDk now I’ll re-install everything and try that.
Thanks,

[andre_fernando]

Hi,

I’m getting the same issue, although I’ve put “-clean” parameter and have Eclipse 3.1.1. Sometimes it works, others not.

andre,
You are getting the cannot create part error? Is it just sometimes or all the time? Do you have any com.ibm.* plugin directories under your <eclipse dir>\plugins directory?

[andre_fernando]

Yep, Rknechte’s error:

An error has occurred when initializing the input for the the editor’s source page.
at com.genuitec.eclipse.webdesigner2.HTMLMultiPageEditorPart.createPages(HTMLMultiPageEditorPart.java:270)

I’d say it’s all the time…

I don’t have com.ibm.* plugin directories in this folder, but i have others from these plugins:
Hibernate Synchronizer
Hibenate Tools
Spring IDE

[andre_fernando]

I figured out…

I deleted these lines from my .jsp file and the editor was able to run:

<%@ page contentType=”text/html;charset=UTF-8″ language=”java” %>
<%@ taglib prefix=”c” uri=”http://java.sun.com/jstl/core&#8221; %>
<%@ taglib prefix=”fmt” uri=”http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt&#8221; %>
<%@ taglib prefix=”spring” uri=”http://www.springframework.org/tags&#8221; %>

What is wrong? Can’t I have TagLib declarations in JSP files?

[andre_fernando]

I did a clean instalation Eclipse/MyEclipse and the problem continues. This is my View Error Log:

Ok thank you for trying all those things. First let’s try a new workspace: File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, hit OK. Now create a new web project and copy your faulty JSP into it (including the taglib entries you had previously) now try and open it, did it wokr? If not, try and remove the headers line by line until the page opens, narrow down which line is casuing the problem.

[andre_fernando]

Hi,

It’s solved. I turned this project into a Web Project and added Struts Capabilities. It worked. I was following the Startup Guide and tried to use JSP Editor with another project. 🙂

It’s not possible to improve these message errors!?

Thanks.

Yes following our guides is generally a good idea, and when asking for support is is handy to mention derivations you might have made, this was a lot of wasted effort on both our parts.

It’s not possible to improve these message errors!?

No, due to strong user demand we added limited web editing support to plain Java projects, this means the root of your project is treated as your web root, so given that these error messages were correct.
