This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The list of items that appears in the JSP editor when the open brace "<" is entered contains "jsp" items and HTML items, but no JSP page directives. Also, entering "<%" shows no code completion items. It should have the following: <% <%@page <%@taglib <%@include
Than you probably want to add <%= and <%!. This will make writing of scriplets more complicated. I am not sure if it is a good idea.
I think that the absense of the directives will be perceived as a bug. I don't agree with changing this to an enhancement and lowering the priority so much. These would be much more useful in the code completion list than "<b>" for example.
Set target milestone to TBD
Fixed in NetBeans 4.0. Both < and <% offer full code completion.
