Seems on-topic to me, I'm sure lots of JDE users are using JSP as well and
would like to have it supported one way or another.
My very primitive solution was to modify html-helper-mode. Sorry, I didn't
do it the right way with hooks, which is probably very simple if you know
how. Anyhow, I created a new face:
;;; JSP face
(defvar my-jsp-face (make-face 'my-jsp-face))
(modify-face my-jsp-face "red" "grey" nil nil nil nil)
then added the following to html-helper-font-lock-keywords
'("<%[^%]+%>" 0 my-jsp-face t )
So, at least my JSP code is set off from html. It would be nice if the java
was font-locked as well, but that quickly go over my head when I looked
into it, and besides there shouldn't be that much Java in your pages
anyhow.
