Description Frédéric Rocheron CLA 2020-11-30 12:08:59 EST 
When a JSP attribute is defined with a generic type, the '<' and '>' characters inside the type declaration leads to a wrong interpretation by Eclipse.

Example :

<%@ attribute name="name" required="false" type="java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>" %>

Eclipse errors :
Multiple annotations found at this line:
	- Undefined attribute name (java.lang.String).
	- Unknown tag (java.lang.String).
	- Invalid location of text (,) in tag (<java.lang.String>).
	- Start tag (<jsp:directive.attribute>) not closed properly, 
	 expected '>'.
	- Invalid location of text (") in tag (<jsp:directive.attribute>).
