JSP editor for eclipse, does it exist?

Question

I noticed that my Eclipse does not include the JSP Editor. Is there a standard JSP editor for Eclipse, and if so, where can I download it from?

Answer 1

The JavaEE version of Eclipse supports full JSP support. The standard version of Java development does not work.

Alternatively, you should install the WebTools plugin in your existing Eclipse, which should also provide you with JSP support.

Answer 2

I had the same problem!

I resolved it by switching the eclipse perspective to the JAVA EE perspective.

Answer 3

Having the same problem, I researched this, and I found many solutions. After installing the tools for the Web Tool, I was able to get the .jsp editor. It is important to know that you must close your .jsp files and then open it again, or you can be sure that the solution is not working. You can confirm that the web tool installation worked if you go to the following:

Window → Settings In the list of options you will see "General". Expand this menu. Expand the "Editors" menu. Click on the option "Link files" There will be a "file type" (I use Keleper) with a list of different file types. In this list, select .jsp. In this list you should see a list of editors. Select the JSP editor. Then click OK.

This is what I discovered while trying to make mine work.

Answer 4

Go to Preference-> General-> Editors-> File Associations Check the editor for type * .jsp. If it is missing, add it. If it is a class file viewer, delete it. Worked for me.

Answer 5

Go to the help system → Install new software and install webtool.

And for those who do not yet see the editor, install the JSP editor as the default editor for JSP files this way
