Warning on JSP files under Eclipse 3.4 [message #224183]

Hello,
I am using Eclipse 3.4 under Windows XP. Every JSP file I have created
shows the following warning related to the <@% page %> directive. I
searched the specs and the newsgroup for an explanation and found none.

Here is the error:

Tag (jsp:directive.page) should be an empty-element tag.

This is what the directive looks like in all of my pages:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" %>

Could anyone explain why is this directive generating this warning? I
understand this is just a warning but it is bugging me.

TIA

It's an oddity of the DOM validation that happens in the editor even
for JSP files, reported in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248963 for another
situation. It's expected to be resolved in WTP 3.0.4 & Ganymede SR2.
