When I create a simple tag file I am getting validation errors (Unknown tag) on all the standard html tags like div and span.

/WEB-INF/tags/footer.tag:

<%@ tag body-content="empty" %>
<div id="footer">
<span id="copyright">© 2009 MyCompany</span>
</div>

I can use the custom tag just fine:

<%@ taglib prefix="my" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<my:footer/>

Here are the errors:

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
Invalid character used in text string (© 2009 MyCompany).    footer.tag    XXX/webroot/WEB-INF/tags    line 3    JSP Problem
Unknown tag (div).    footer.tag    XXX/webroot/WEB-INF/tags    line 2    JSP Problem
Unknown tag (div).    footer.tag    XXX/webroot/WEB-INF/tags    line 4    JSP Problem
Unknown tag (span).    footer.tag    XXX/webroot/WEB-INF/tags    line 3    JSP Problem
Unknown tag (span).    footer.tag    XXX/webroot/WEB-INF/tags    line 3    JSP Problem

How do I fix these validation errors?

glindholm,

Can you give me some more information to investigate:

1) Can you copy and paste your installation detail? To do that open MyEclipse IDE, from the menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2) Can you send your log file? You can get it from [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log
3) What type of application is it?
4) Can you tell me the steps to reproduce the issue?
5) For us to investigate with your issue from our end
a) if possible try to send your project
or
b) create a sample project which replicates your issue.

You can send all the above mentioned documents to [email protected]. Please add ATTN: JOY in the subject and refer to this thread.

Joy,

3) It’s a java jsp web servlet web application
4) Just create the tag file under /WEB-INF/tags
5) I’ve added the sample /WEB-INF/tags/footer.tag file to a very small demo project and I get the same errors so I will send you this complete project. (xpldemo)

I’ve sent you a zip of all you asked for.

Greg,
I have raised a PR with the dev team

[phk1105]

Was this ever resolved?

phk1105,

You can see the fix for this issue in MyEclipse 9.0.1.
