Nobody got the guts of tackling 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36939 ?

While I can live without the 1.5 support just fine, but I am seriously 
missing an effort at the jsp/servlet/taglib front, a major application of 
Java today. This bug was/is targeted at 3.0 but I doubt it will be solved 
when 3.0 finally is released (there are only two Milestones, M8 and M9 to 
go)
