Code Hinting on JSP with Custom Tags (taglib) [message #675432]

I'm developing a JSP tag that have an attribute that works with a set of possible values.
I don't need to enforce this values, but I would like the IDE do some code hinting or auto-completion.

Suppose a tag like this:

<mytag:sometag someattribute="value" />

The attribute someattribute can have any value (remember, I don't need to enforce), but I would like it to suggest you the following list of values: ValueA, ValueB and ValueC

Is there a way to do it?

Not without writing plug-ins. They would need to make judicious use of
the org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.modelQueryExtensions extension point.

Unless adding the values to the JSP->Editor->Templates preference page
in the JSP Attribute Value context is good enough.

Thank you, Nitin.

I don't think that templates can solve the problem as I have more than 1.000 possible values for one tag, and I have many tags...
About the plugin, I'll need to write one, right?
Don't you know any one that I could use??
