Via Kevin Dangoor: the updated Eclipse 3.0 plan shows that we'll have to wait until June 2004 for a final Eclipse 3.0.

In my work, the most important new features are in the extended Java theme: "Improve support for Java-like source files" like JSP and "Support Java references outside Java code". Unfortunately, there is no indication that JSP support will extend beyond the basic code-completion, refactoring support, and syntax coloring for Java code embedded in JSP files. I'm still holding out some foolish hope that maybe, just maybe, IBM will move Websphere Studio's WYSIWYG HTML/JSP editor and Struts support into Eclipse while reserving the upcoming JavaServer Faces support for paying customers. Please? After all, by June 2004, Struts support will be the old hat to JSF's brand new bag.
