It would be useful to have the F3 code navigation functionality in the JSP editor. I envision it working with the Java code in the JSP as well as with the custom taglibs.

your feature request is hard to understand.. could you explain in detail waht ‘F3 code navigation’ is ?

[tedtollefson]

The Eclipse help documentation describes the functionality as such:

Code navigation and reading
Open on a selection in the Java editor There are two ways that you can open an element from its reference in the Java editor.
Select the reference in the code and press F3 (Navigate > Open Declaration)
Hold Ctrl and move the mouse pointer over the reference
The hyperlink style navigation can be configured in Preferences > Java > Editor > Navigation.

Explained in other way:
In a java source file, I might be looking at a line of code like

AnotherBean ab = new AnotherBean();

I am not sure what the “AnotherBean” object does, so I place my cursor on the AnotherBean declaration and press F3. Eclipse find and opens the AnotherBean source file.

I would like to be able to navigate in a JSP the same way.

If I can provide any further clarification, please let me know.

Regards,
Ted

I have accidentally suggested this enhancement twice. The prio post was:

I would like to keep this post open and close the other.

Done and done

I can certainly see where that would be useful. It’s actually an open enhancement request at the moment, so thank you for the +1 on it. 🙂

It would be great to support code navigation in all my eclipse editors.

see my request at:

so +1

I agree F3 navigation is a very important feature.
It would be great if the search by references would find JSP references. I think the 3.0 is going help to do this.
Anyone knows something about it?

I’m really looking forward to this, any word if it’s slated for an upcoming release?

Probably won’t make it into 3.8 since we’re pushing JSP 2.0 features above usability enhancements for this release. However, 3.9 will be an ‘enhancement and polish’ release so it’s got a shot there.
