You need to go into regedit to do that. After doing the steps
I will describe your JSP files should look like ASP files in
the editor, ie the <% // java code... %> will be highlighted
(which is great comparing how the file looks in text mode
= messy). See the end of the mail.

What I meant by debugging: I use JRun with the Microsoft VM, so
I can attach the debugger to that VM and select the exceptions
which should be caught by the IDE. I do not know if this kind
of comfort is possible with other development tools. I'm still
free to use any JVM I want and VJ++ just as a compiler
(JDK 1.1.x) and editor. Then I only cannot debug with VJ++, but
this is only necessary during development.

------ How to enable Syntax Highlighting with VJ++ and JSPs
-----------------
1. start regedit (Start Menu -> Run -> regedit)
2. navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\Languages\File
Extensions
Here you will find the supported file types. JSP
should look like ASP so we will duplicate the ASP key.
3. Create a key "JSP"
4. Copy the standard value of ASP to JSP
5. create a string "unused" and copy the value from ASP
Now start Microsoft Visual J++ and the JSPs will be
syntax highlighted. Magic!
