[jboss-user] [JBoss Tools (users)] - Ambiguous error with web.xml adding JSF

I'm wondering if there is some reason the error below is reported like this; or if I should file a feature request to get something more specific reported instead? -- Wizard for adding JSF capabilities to a project can report a misleading error message for web.xml files that makes it hard for users to correct the issue. The error could be made much clearer (example follows). You get here by right-clicking on a project and selecting Red Hat Developer Studio -> Add JSF Capabilities....; it is the first window that appears. Consider a project with an existing (and working) web-xml file which is considered INVALID by the JSF wizard: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | | <!DOCTYPE web-app | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_2.dtd"> | <web-app> | <servlet> | <servlet-name>DummyServlet</servlet-name> | <servlet-class>dummy.class</servlet-class> | </servlet> | <servlet-mapping> | <servlet-name>DummyServlet</servlet-name> | <url-pattern>myWebPage</url-pattern> | </servlet-mapping> | </web-app> 1.0.0 Beta2 reports the following error: "Web descriptor file is corrupted : Element type "web-app" must be declared.:6:10." The problem appears to be related to the doc-type/DTD field, and if I change the version to 2.3, it accepts the web.xml file: <!DOCTYPE web-app | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> If the error said the DOCTYPE was invalid (and why) rather than web-app was missing, it would be a lot more helpful to track down errors.
