Well, if we shall talk about .jsp's and tweaking.
How about Macromedia's UltraDev.
The database interface is a little bit hard to get into at first, but the
familiarity of (full version) Dreamweaver will put you to rest. It is a
very nice app.
"Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 is the most efficient way to develop ASP,
JSP or ColdFusion applications. The professional hand-coding environment
allows you to view code and design simultaneously, build database-driven Web
applications, and view live server-side data as you edit layout and code on
the fly. Easily create reusable libraries of server-side scripts or use the
built-in server behaviors and shortcuts."

Subject: Re: Tools in JSP
Webgain Studio (www.webgain.com) has included and tweaked Macromedia's
Dreamweaver product so that it will render the JSP components inside the
WYSISWYG HTML editor. Once you see the results of the dynamic components
you can then make design changes like placement and fonts. I've tested it
with all the basic JSP elements including custom tags and beans using a
Weblogic server (a single user version of the server comes with Studio) and
it worked well.
Studio also includes a copy of Cafe Enterprise Edition (the webgain folks
purchased Cafe from Symantec) which can be used as a Java source editor and
can stay sync'd up with Dreamweaver over the same JSP source code. Another
neat trick. My experience was only as an evaluator so I've not seen this
product under the heavy load created by tough project on a tight deadline.
