[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-2396?page=all ] Denis Maliarevich resolved JBIDE-2396. -------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 3.0.0.alpha Resolution: Done Assignee: Tatyana Romanovich (was: Denis Maliarevich) According to jsp specification jsp page does not have to have empty tags formatted with mandatory end tags. I checked html files: by default empty tags have no end tags, in xhtml: empty tags do have end tags, in jsp: by default empty tags have no end tags. So this bug has no meaning. Specification notes listed below. HTML 4.01 Specification says: "Some HTML element types have no content. For example, the line break element BR has no content; its only role is to terminate a line of text. Such empty elements never have end tags. " XHTML 1 Specification says: "Empty elements must either have an end tag or the start tag must end with />. For instance, <br/> or <hr></hr>." JSP 2.1 Specification says: "A traditional application domain of the JSP technology is HTML content. The JSP specification supports well this use through a syntax that is friendly to HTML and XML although it is not HTML-specific; for instance, HTML comments are treated no differently than other HTML content. The JSP Standard Tag Library has specific support for HTML though some specific custom actions." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
