When making a web project and a simple jsp file, the following issue arises: If I try to write Java code in a JSP statement or expression <% code %> or <%= code %> the JSP assistant does not have all the javadocs that it needs available by default. Take a look at this code: <%@page contentType="text/html"%> <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>JSP Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>JSP Page</h1> <% request.(here I need code completion and access to the Javadocs of the implicitly declared request object but the IDE says that I need to add the javadoc to the project). %> </body> </html> As can be seen by trying to run the code in a clean install of netbeans the IDE is not very helpfull. It only says that I need to add the appropriate javadoc to the project - but by default the javadocs for servlets and jsp APIs are included in the bundled in Tomcat. So what is the problem then, why does it not use it? The behavior is the same for Serlvets where it is also missing the basic documentation for the apis. This is in both 5.0, 5.5b2 and 6.0M3
