Eclipse Oxygen JSP validation errors specific with nested JSTL tags

Question

<option value="something" <c:if test="${ }">selected</c:if>>something</option>

This line of code gets highlighted in Eclipse Oxygen, however, I was previously using Neon and this line was totally fine. Running the application is fine and there's no errors rendering the page whatsoever.

I wonder if this is specific with Oxygen or is there some settings that I'm missing here.

Edit: The line gets highlighted for missing end tag for c:if, and for <option> not closed properly, expected '>'
