How do you create a JSP file in eclipse 3.1 [message #147265]

I am learning eclipse 3.1 and refreshing myself on Java. I have recently
been put in charge of JSP apps and was hoping someone could tell me how to
create a JSP app within eclipse. When I open a previous .jsp file, it
seems to treat it as a text file and when I go to FILE -> NEW, I don't get
a JSP option.

Is there some plugin or setting I need to turn on?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated

You need the WTP (Web Tools Project).

I downloaded the WTP all in one 1.0 and all required drivers. extracted
them all to the same directory. Went into eclipse and select WINDOWS ->
PREFERENCES -> PLUG_IN_DEVELOPMENT -> TARGET PLATFORM and selected the
eclipse directory that I just extracted too. Is that correct? If so,
when I click on new, I still don't get the option for .jsp files.

What am I doing wrong?

What I also forgot to mention. When I extracted the files, I put them in
a different directory than my main eclipse and pointed the plugin
development to that directory.

I did run the eclipse.exe from my WTP directory and now have all the
options. I read somewhere that it was smart to put all your plugins in a
different directory than the ones in your main eclipse directory. Is this
a good practice? If so, what do I need to do to create JSP files?

Thanks

I also appreciate your patients. So much to absorb.

Everything, except for downloading WTP.
:-)

Seriously, when you installed WTP "all in one" you don't need to link
that with your other Eclipse installation at all. Just run the WTP
all-in-one by itself. I don't know where you got the idea to go into
plug-in development, but that is not relevant in your case (unless I'm
missing something and you are wanting to develop your own plugins for
Eclipse).

Just run the WTP installation and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps,
Eric
