JSP Editor for Eclipse Juno

I installed Eclipse Juno recently and I see that JSP files are not properly code highlighted. Everything appears as if it is a normal text file.

The previous versions of eclipse used to be fine. Am I missing something ?

If you've installed Juno EE it should support .jsp editor.

Most probably, your Eclipse is "starting" with java less than v1.6 (for me it was as well, I have 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 javas installed; default was 1.5 and Eclipse was starting with it automatically)

I solved same problem with below way:

1) Right click on Juno shortcut and click Properties

2) In the field "Target"

You already should have something like below:

"D:\PROGRAM INSTALL\eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32\eclipse\eclipse.exe"

Add to the end of that line one more command as below (show to Eclipse with which java version it should start)

-vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin\java.exe"

My target looks like below:

"D:\PROGRAM INSTALL\eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin\java.exe"

3) Start Eclipse with changed target using your shortcut

4) On .jsp file now you will be able to chose "Open with --> JSP Editor"

It is because of Eclipse do not know what JDK do you like to use.

  1. Rightcklick the Project, select Configure -> Convert the Project to an Faceted Project.
  2. Go to Project Properties->Project Facets and check Java with a version of your choice.

Try to Right-Click the .jsp-file and choose Open With>JSP Editor.

This should do the Trick.
