Loving Espresso (got it via MacHeist) and my one current wish is that there was a JSP Sugar.

I know, I should write it myself, but right now I sadly don’t have the bandwidth to do it. :(

As JSP features a LOT of HTML usually, simple hacking the HTML default Sugar to work with JSP files is a reasonable fix at this point, however it would be nice to have a full JSP sugar. God knows there are enough rather large Java shops out there (the company I work for being one of them).

Anyone already attempting this large task? Duplicated effort is wasted effort and all that…

Hey Gregory,

You can include previously defined syntaxes within new syntaxes, so you wouldn’t need to duplicate the HTML stuff; just define some new rules for JSP and include the HTML logic (see the PHP Sugar for an example; its PHP-HTML definition does this, so far as I know).

I haven’t heard of anyone working on a JSP Sugar at the moment, so I don’t think you’d be duplicating effort if you wanted to give it a shot. 

Oh I know I could do it that way (I have actually read the wiki ! ) that’s certainly the way I’ll be going about it.

I’ll jump into the JSP thing then! Should be interesting, though CodeSense will be a pretty mammoth task.

As soon as I’ve got something working that at least highlights correctly and such I’ll post it up on Google Code or similar.
Hopefully that will be soon, but as I said - very little bandwidth right now.

I’m looking for the same JSP Sugar. I’d even pay some bucks to get it!
