Hi,
Can I see errors highlighted in the editing window? I don't mean syntax errors. Intellij does that, but it's not free.


Thanks,
Chandana

If you don't mean syntax errors, what kind of errors do you mean?

I am sorry for posting a vague message.
Semantic errors.
Like
String a = 1;

I mean assigning an int to a String.

Also, could you please tell me if highlighting colors for JSP syntax is possible.

Thanks a lot.

Chandana,
The example you posted is a syntax error. But I understand what you mean. You can have eclipse flag things like unused code or other common problems in the preferences.

You need a plugin like Lomboz for JSP support. Eclipse doesn't do it by default.

hi Jeanne,
Thanks for your post. I have downloaded lomboz and syntax color highlighting works fine.

I did a lot of searching on the web, but I just couldn't find how to set syntax error highlighting(in Windows > preferences) what to set up and where to find it..

I would appreciate it if someone tells me how to set it up. I want to see errors in my file as well as on the right hand column, next to the vertical scrollbar.

Thank you so much.

Chandana,
I'm not sure. I thought you got that for default. I see little red boxes on the right that correspond to the location of errors in the document. I also see circles with X's on the left bar that I can click on for more details.

Jeanne,
You are right. I guess I didn't install Eclipse correctly. I uninstalled everything and created my project again, now it works.

I appreciate your timely help very much.

Best,
Chandana
