Autoformat ruins javascript in JSP [message #538860]

When I format shift+ctrl in a JSP file with javascript embedded then the javascript is ruined.

For instance a tag like

<input type="button" onclick="javascript:mymethod()">

Will turn into something like

<input type="button" onclick=

mymethod()

>

The javascript prefix is completely removed and quotes are removed and a lot of linefeeds are inserted.

Im using default formatting - havent changed anything in preferences. Running j2ee bundle of Eclipse 3.5 sr2 on win7. Older versions of eclipse had the same problem.

Is there any kind of setting I can change to improve this?
