Description Matthew Korich CLA 2008-07-29 13:36:37 EDT
When I place the following tag at the top of a JSP, Eclipse fails to syntax highlight the page properly:

<%@ page contentType="text/javascript;charset=UTF-8" language="java"%>

Expected behavior is that the page will be recognized as "javascript" (or other language) with proper syntax highlighting and predictive text features.
I may have submitted this bug in the wrong repository so please relocate as deemed necessary.

Hello!
Just pinging this ticket to see if any imminent movement is to be expected.
No rush, but I do need to decide on the suitability of our company's adoptation of Eclipse. IntelliJ does a wonderful job of javascript display and encoding but we would like to use a free product if we can.
Thanks,
Matt Korich

Interesting application. I can't speak for the source editing team's plans for this work, but just wondering more about it ... I assume HTML content type, with a large <script section wouldn't work ... because ... ? includes?

This is still not implemented. At the very least should be changed to an enhancement request if not closed as will not implement.

Sounds like other support requests for various languages either as the contentType or the actual page language.
