"Visual Page Editor has experimental support for Windows 64-bit"

Question

I am using Eclipse Luna and JBoss AS 7. When I create a JSP page in Eclipse, then I get the below error:

I changed my server to Tomcat 7, still I am getting the same error.

How is this caused and how can I solve it?

Answer 1

That visual page editor is part of JBoss Tools plugin which you installed in order to be able to integrate and use JBoss AS server in Eclipse.

You don't need it. It's not only experimental, but generally visual page editors just doesn't work when you want to end up with quality code. Just click the red cross at the right bottom corner and then click the Source tab and finally close the Palette tab. This is fortunately an one-time thing. It will stay away when you create new JSP pages.

It's just the worst part of otherwise very great JBoss Tools plugin.

Answer 2

If you want to use a visual editor, I would recommend the XULRunner JBoss tool.
