How to get Eclipse tools working nicely with JSP?

Question

How do you get Eclipse to work properly with JSP files as it does with Java files?

Specifically:

• Eclipse "Find references" (Right click on method, references, workspace) doesn't find references in JSP files.
• Eclipse refactoring (Right click on method, refactor, rename) doesn't rename references in JSP files.

We're using Eclipse 3.2.2.

Answer 1

In the end we switched to IntelliJ which does this very nicely out of the box..

Answer 2

Eclipse 3.2 (Callisto) has been released in 2006... and it looks like refactoring in JSP file was not supported at the time.

An upgrade might be in order (if your environment/policy at work does support upgrading this software).

However, even with 3.4, that is not (well) supported, as illustrated by this SO question.
