Description Peter W Carlson 2002-03-01 01:21:14 UTC 
This is very very strange:

1st) It only appears to happen off of installations that were created using the 
installer, not from unzipping the zip file.

2nd) We have tried installing the same build using installers on two different 
Win2K machines and the problem always presents itself on one and never on the 
other.

What happens is that the old templates are used when a taglibrary is created.  
It's simple (though not at all consistent) to reproduce: Install from the 
installer, run the ide, create a new taglib and open it.  You will see the JSP 
1.1 template has been used.

The old template is coming from the old webadvanced ie templates. 
That was taken out when most of webadvanced was moved to opensource, 
or so we thought. 

As has been discussed, this does seem to be a strange build issue. 
I wanted to post where the old template is coming from. 

On the other hand, maybe the old templates are still there, but 
because of module ordering differences across platforms, sometimes
the old ones "win" while sometimes the new ones "win"?
Comment 2 sgleason 2002-03-01 20:29:53 UTC 
There is an old tag library template in web/advanced (the tag library 
was separated into its own module and has a newer template). It was 
taken out once before, but slipped through our defenses when we were
distracted by opensourcing webadvanced, and made it back into the 
source base ;-)

It's been causing intermittent problems, such as sometimes "winning"
as the tag library template of choice when the IDE is installed from
the
installer (but not from the zip files). There must be some strange
timing
issues with when modules are loaded. 

In either case, the old template is a prime candidate for an ectomy. 
This involves taking out the template from CVS, and removing the
template
lines from web/advance/.../ie's layer.xml file. 

Fixed: IN=5747 P1: 21031  Remove old tag library template from
web/advanced
