Development build #200506142000 of NetBeans 4.2 Windows XP, JDK 1.5.0_03 build #06 Description: ============ Help window does not display tag names which is critical for e.g. JSTL library. User has no chance to find out which tag <c:when> should be included in. Take a look at its javadoc here: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/c/when.html It contains text: "Subtag of <choose> that includes..." but help window available for <c:when> tag displays only "Subtag of that includes...". See attached screenshot if you don't get what I mean. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Create new sample web application. 2. Add JSTL 1.1 library to the project. 3. Uncomment taglib directive at line 9 in index.jsp. 4. Type <c:wh|en below <body> and press CTRL+Space to invoke code completion. 5. Press CTRL+Shift+Space to display help window. 6. Note that "<choose>" word is missing in the tag description.
Created attachment 22716 [details] Screenshot of help window with missing <choose> word.
Problem in displaying html code in the help window.
TM 5.0->TBD
We'll probably have to quote all the tags which is ment to be displayed as tags in the help files. The help file in jstl11-doc.zip contains a wrong html syntax: Subtag of <choose> that... should be: Subtag of <choose> that... But I am affraid that this one is not the only one and I do no know how to easily find these occurances in the tons of files.
We need to somehow fix the help sources... :-|. I have no idea how to do that easily. I can fix the case you found, but I am affraid it won't satisfy you. Any ideas?
Minor problem = P4
minor issue, fix is not trivial, no time for this.
