Created attachment 272035 [details]
jsp-editor-doesn't-report-unhandled-exception

Steps to Reduce:
1. Put a scriptlet in a jsp. e.g.
<%!
16:    public void storeConfig(Properties cfg){
17:      FileUtils.writeStringToFile(getConfigFile(), JSON.toJSONString(cfg), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
18:    }
%>
2. Access the jsp via browser

Actual Result:
An error occurred at line: 17 in the jsp file: /test.jsp
Unhandled exception type IOException

Expected Result:
No such compilation error, JSP Editor should warn me earlier, just like Java Editor, tells me there is a non-RuntimeException not handled.

The JSP editor and validator code appears to be in Source Editing, so moving there.

The contents of the JSP file compile down into a Servlet service method that explicitly declares it can throw a ServletException or IOException, as defined in section 9 of the JSP specification. No compile-time error message should appear for this.

Which version is this? Do you have a Minimal Working Example that shows the problem? Without fully qualified class names, it's not something I can try to reproduce.
