JSP Vaildation Error after import to STS

[kdvolder]

We'd like to include PetClinic as a sample app on the STS dashboard.

Unfortunately it has a validation error when I import the current master branch to STS as an m2e project.

This is the error I am getting:

pageContext cannot be resolved inputField.tag
/spring-pet-clinic/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/tags
line 11
JSP Problem

Any idea what this error means and how to fix it?

It may very well be the problem isn't actually with the App but with the validations or Eclipse classpath. The app seems to deploy just fine to Tc Server in STS despite the error.

Kris, you should have asked me about this. It is a known problem, it is already raised in our STS jira and I think Leo discovered it is a bug in some WTP bits and pieces that we are picking up.

Thanks a lot for taking care of it. My only workaround was to disable the relevant Eclipse validators. It seems that there is an Eclipse patch already. Andy, have you had the opportunity to test it?

[aclement]

I don't think we have tested that patch yet. We'll try to get to it.

Just a quick update on that: this Eclipse bug has been resolved in Eclipse Kepler (4.3).

You can download STS 3.3 based on 2 Eclipse distribs: 3.8 (Juno) or 4.3 (Kepler). It has been done that way because Kepler used to be really slow (but it has improved a lot in the past 6 months).

So in order to have this bug fixed, you should download STS 3.3 based on Eclipse 4.3.

If you can't use that version of Eclipse, you still can disable the relevant validators. To do so:

1. Right click on the spring-petclinic project
2. Select "Properties"
3. Validation -> JSP Syntax -> Enable Project specific settings (and you should uncheck one of the options there, I don't remember which one as I'm using Kepler myself)
