Ganymede bug using jsp include directive

Salute ladies and gentlemen,

Since I downloaded Eclipse Ganymede I've been experiencing a buggy error when trying to use some include directive: <%@include file="somefile.jsp"%>.

The issue occurs on a simple JSP file like this:

The "<%@ include file="./includes/someCentralArea.jsp" %>" is just a jsp with struts 2 taglibs (a s:form actually) with nothing unusual, it doesn't show any error and runs pretty fine on container, but Eclipse 3.4 keep showing me the following error lines:

Syntax error on token "}", delete this token
Syntax error on token "catch", Identifier expected
Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement

Does anyone have a clue on that? I tried even to Google for a bug on Eclipse but found nothing. Is there any workaround or a fix for that?

Thanks,

I've noticed these kinds of errors in Eclipse 3.4 too. Unfortunately it looks like that the Web Tools Platform (WTP) part of Eclipse 3.4 is far from perfect.

You could try downloading the latest version of Eclipse (currently 3.4.1), I've noticed that for example editing JavaScript code works much better in 3.4.1 than in 3.4.

Jesper,

Actually I updated the WTP module to no avail. Well, I'm gonna try to update the whole Eclipse to 3.4.1 but I'm not sure if it'll work.

If there is a way to suspend the validator that checks this kind of issue, I'd be glad to know.

The problem only seems to happens when using the old style <%@ ... %>. If you switch to the new strict XML style <jsp:... /> the problem goes away.

Perhaps one of the Ganymede developers felt that we should all switch to writing JSPs using XML syntax. Annoying.

I have not found a way to eliminate the warnings. If somebody finds it, please post.
