Is there a good JSP editor for Eclipse? [closed]

Answer 1

I followed the advice of Simon Gibbs in this answer and found it worked out fine - if you're in a hurry, the "Web Page Editor (optional)" package from the Eclipse update site does the trick.

For the Eclipse-challenged (me) Help > Install New Software > Work with > Expand Web, XML, and Java EE Development > Select "Web Page Editor (optional)" and "next-through" to completion.

Answer 2

Oracle Workshop for Weblogic is supposed to have a pretty nice jsp editor but I've never used it. You needn't be using Weblogic to use it.

Answer 3

As well as Amateras you could try Web Tools Project or Aptana. Although they will both give you way more than just a jsp editor.

Edit 2010/10/26 (comment from Simon Gibbs):

The Web Tools Project JSP editor is in the "Web Page Editor (Optional)" project.

Edit 2016/08/16 (extended comment from Dan Carter):

From Kepler (Eclipse 4.3.x) on, this is called "JSF Tools - Web Page Editor".

Answer 4

You could check out JBoss Tools plugin.

Answer 5

"Web Page Editor (optional)" package from the Eclipse Galileo/Helios update site has the following very minor quirks in a JSP editor:

• Auto-commenting in Java code fragments does not work (Ctrl /); [fixed in Helios SR2]
• [present in Galileo, fixed in Eclipse Helios SR1] If a Java code fragment has errors that are already fixed, the editor does not remove the error marks until you modify the erroneous place or close/reopen the file being edited;

This was valid at Dec 7, 2010.

Answer 6

MyEclipse has a pretty decent one, it costs money however. One of the reasons I went over to Netbeans is because of their JSP editor, which is still far from perfect but better then vanilla Eclipse.
