In Eclipse (version 2021-09) I would like to use the sysout template in the scriptlet area of a JSP page.

So, in my JSP editor I have:

...

<%
...
[cursor here]
...
%>
...

When I now type sysout how can I make it expand to System.out.println("[cursor here]");?

I tried a new JSP template like this:

New Tpl in Eclipse for sysout

But it does not work inside the scriplet tags.

PS: I saw the question sysout in JSP eclipse - Stack Overflow, but the answers do not cover the case inside the scriptlet tags.

  • why would you sysout from a servlet? there is maybe no output window. – Scary Wombat Oct 26 '22 at 01:32
  • The message will probably appear on stdout of the JVM not on the page. Also, is there any content assist for `System.out.` inside scriptlets? – LMC Oct 26 '22 at 01:50
  • @ScaryWombat Standard out is written to Tomcats console window - great for a quick debug! :-) – halloleo Oct 26 '22 at 02:01

    Content Assist in scriptlets is solely for Java, and Java templates aren't supported there. You'll have to open a feature request. – nitind Oct 26 '22 at 02:22

go to the preferences --> Java --> Editor --> Content Assist at the bottom: "auto activation triggers for Java" and put in:
