Description ats37 2008-08-15 15:41:21 UTC 
The new TagHandler wizard (and generated code) give the choice of creating a handler that extends either BodyTagSupport
or (if J2EE 1.4 or above) SimpleTagSupport.  Most of the tags in a taglib I'm maintaining implement just Tag, not
BodyTag, and therefore extend javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport (which has also been present since J2EE 1.2). 
However, there is no template under File -> New that allows me to create another one of these (other than the general
Class one, which doesn't count).  Rather than adding a new template, I figure a better solution is to enhance the
existing template to add TagSupport as a third option for the "Tag Support Class to Extend" setting.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
