I have an error in Eclipse in my JSP files.

No matter what I put as my <form action=" ... I get an Element not found error. This is on every form, on every JSP, which makes it harder to track down actual problems in my Project Explorer since everything has a red X on it.

My code works as expected, and I would prefer to not just disable the warning, as I'm still learning and generally appreciate error messages.

Form Post Action Error in Eclipse

Eclipse jsp error in editor

<form action="/sampleServlet" giving me exception

EDIT

Neon -v 4.6.0

Did a reinstall and figured out it is the WTP that is causing the error.

Did you tried using a `<:out />` tag ? The editor for JSP is not perfect so I am not sure this will do it – AxelH Nov 03 '16 at 13:45
Not the solution. – Nate Anderson Nov 03 '16 at 15:35
Can you show the full properties of the error in the Problems View? Which version of Eclipse is this? I don't see it on Neon.1. Do you have additional validation or web plug-ins installed? – nitind Nov 04 '16 at 05:46
neon is still buggy try mars instead – bananas Nov 04 '16 at 12:56
