Editing a JSP Source File

The editing support provided for JavaServer Pages (JSP) source files is much the same as that provided for other file types. Instructions for opening a JSP source file in the Source Editor are provided below.

For additional information on the editor, such as source editor abbreviations, Java and HTML completion, and editor configuration, see Editing Source Files.

To edit a JSP file

  1. In the IDE Explorer, click the Filesystems tab and locate your JSP file.

  2. Double-click the selected file to open it in the Source Editor.

  3. Edit your file as you would any Java source file, including the use of code completion (for JSP constructs and for Java code) and editor abbreviations .

  4. Save your file periodically. (Unsaved changes are indicated by an askerisk in the source editor titlebar.) From the IDE main menubar, select File Save.
