QUESTION: How do you start a Web App in Eclipse?
BACKGROUND: Been using JBuilder for about 3-4 years. After all the
conversation and mention I've seen of Eclipse, I thought I would give it a shot.
I like what I see so far, as I built a small utility app to do some things. But
then I went to start a new Web App, and didn't find a way to start one? I've
searched the Eclipse web site and frankly, I am frustrated I can't find a simple
How-To demonstrating how a HelloWorld jsp or servlet is created in Eclipse.
So I guess I beginning to wonder (as crazy as it sounds), does Eclipse allow for
the building of web apps "out of the box"? Or do I need to apply some plug-ins
or something? I created a jsp source file, and
judging from the icon Eclipse assigned, it is treating it as a txt file....it
doesn't recognize the "jsp" extension.
Any small hints to get me pointed in the right direction are welcome.
Thanks!
Rob
p.s. I understand Eclipse is free and such, so I am not complaining if
JSP/servlets are not supported. I am simply just trying to find out "IF" they
are supported or not.

Hi,
AFAIK in 2.1 webapp creation is not officially supported. However in 2.2
plan
( http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_p lan_2_2.html -
url may wrap) there is a section called 'improve support for java-like
source files: jsp, jsql'.
You should also search in http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net. There are a couple
of plugins you can use for webapp development (webapp, resin plugin, tomcat
plugin, bejy, lomboz etc.). Some of them provide code assist for jsp-s as
well. My personal opinion that these plugins are usable when creating small
webapps.
HTH,

I've found that using Jetty for webapp development & debugging has
worked quite well. It's lightweight enough to comfortably run in Eclipse
(on the console). For packaging you can either map your output folder to
your WEBINF/classes or just use ant.

There are several open source jsp editor plugins, but I don't know if
there are any that have established themselves as the leader.. it
appears they all have issues or drawbacks of some sort. There's also
IBM's commercially available WSAD.

You can find free plugins for almost anything.. whether or not it's any
good is a another question.
