Hi

My setup:
– eclipse 3.1 build I20050627-1435
– myeclipse version 4.0.2 M2, build 20051205-4.1-Milestone 2
– jdk jdk1.5.0_02

There’re 2 points I’d like to clarify:
1. I use JSTL/EL heavily in my jsp and I notice that suppose I have something like :

 
<c:set var="buttons">
    <button type="button" style="margin-right: 5px"
        onclick="location.href='<c:url value="/editBook.html"/>'">
        <fmt:message key="button.add"/>
    </button>

    <button type="button" onclick="location.href='<html:rewrite forward="mainMenu"/>'">
        <fmt:message key="button.cancel"/>
    </button>
</c:set>

<c:out value="${buttons}" escapeXml="false"/>

<display:table name="${bookList}" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
    id="bookList" pagesize="25" styleClass="list"
    export="true" requestURI="">

    <display:column property="title" sort="true" headerClass="sortable"
         titleKey="bookForm.title"/>
    <display:column property="bookId" sort="true" headerClass="sortable"
        url="/editBook.html" paramId="bookId" paramProperty="bookId"
        titleKey="bookForm.bookId"/>
    <display:column property="dateCreated" sort="true" headerClass="sortable"
         titleKey="bookForm.dateCreated"/>
    <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.item_name" value="book"/>
    <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.items_name" value="books"/>
</display:table>

<c:out value="${buttons}" escapeXml="false"/>

I can’t evaluate the expression like ‘${bookList}’ where it’s a Struts Form bean in the debugger expression (the one enabled by clicking Window->show view->Expression’. I would like to know whether they’re NULL or something like that since there’s no auto-completion (we know that possibility of mistyping is pretty high, especially when you’re sleep deprived).

This also happens for variables in my scriplets; they’re shown in the Variables window but I can specify it in the Expression window. So I will see enum for ‘Enumeration enum = request.getParameterNames();’ in the Variables window, but I can’t write ‘enum.hasMoreElements()’ in the Expression window.

2. I notice that I can’t set breakpoints outside jsp scriplets. Well, I can set breakpoints at tags like <c:out/> or <html:html/> but they’re of no use since I can’t really really step into the code (too much detail too). I want to check request.getParameterNames output, hence I need to write scriplets in the jsp instead of just writing it in the Expression windows.

Are these know limitations since I don’t seem to find in the forums or feature list? If they’re, is there any plan to introduce the features in the next release(s)?

Thanks

I’ve enabled JSTL support for my Web Project. I’ve specified the libraries to be resolved from my user lib dir ie
${ProjectName}/lib/**/*.jar
