How to configure Eclipse to work with infoEngine tasks

[#1]

Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible to work with Eclipse for editing IE tasks. I've tried to create a new eclipse project with some IE tasks, adding the codebase WEB-INF tld files in the classpath. The xml files are not recognized as jsp like files and the taglib descriptor can't be found, even if I rename the xml file in jsp file.

It is impossible. You can write eclipse plugin for edit Ie tasks))

Hello!

Just to let you know that I've actually opened a ticket with the Eclipse foundation on this one. Even though the file extension is XML, if I select to associate with and open it with a JSP editor I should get all of the JSP editor goodness.

The ticket can be found here:

Best regards.

As an aside, I store the files originally in a revision control system and then deploy them to Windchill's directories when I am finished editing them. Until the Eclipse issue is resolved, I've renamed the files that I'm working on any appended a ".jsp" extension. My deployment script takes that off when it deploys. For example:

myTask.xml.jsp

Is deployed as

myTask.xml

A little hacky, I know, but it works well to achieve both goals. I wish Windchill would just use .jsp for their tasks instead of .xml.
