I'm testing Tiles 2 in a small application, and have stumbled across a bug I regularly encounter.

When editing XML files in Text Editor, I get random and inaccurate errors.

For instance, in this simple file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC     "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"     "http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd"> <tiles-definitions>   <definition name="commonPage" template="/layouts/classic.jsp">     <put-attribute name="header" value="/tiles/defaultHeader.jsp" />     <put-attribute name="menu" value="/tiles/defaultMenu.jsp" />     <put-attribute name="footer" value="/tiles/defaultFooter.jsp" />   </definition>   <definition name="homePage" extends="commonPage">     <put-attribute name="body" value="/tiles/home_body.jsp" />   </definition>     <definition name="aboutPage" extends="commonPage">     <put-attribute name="body" value="/tiles/about_body.jsp" />   </definition>   </tiles-definitions>

Line 12 is marked with:
X The element type "tiles-definitions" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</tiles-definitions>".

This error popped up after I added the "aboutPage" definition and I cannot get it to go away, even after restoring from a previous file and restarting MyEclipseIDE. The application ran fine on an earlier test, and the file does not appear to be incorrect.

Help!

Running:
Version 8.5M2-20100212
OSX 10.6.2 [/code]

CasaDelNorte,
I could not replicate this at my end. Can you give some more information?
1. Can you copy paste your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details?
2. Can you list out the steps in detail to replicate the above issue?

Sure, however I have had this same issue in several releases on several computers. In this case, I opened the file with the XML Editor, re-saved it, and the error disappeared.

You can set the default editor for XML files from Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations.

I know that. I actually prefer to edit XML in the Text Editor. That's why this bug is so annoying.
