I have moved multiple common <%@ tag import=... %>s from several .tag files to a shared .tag (or '.jsp') file and included that shared file in all other tag files.

It works in tomcat/jetty but eclipse fails at recognizing them and reports compile error on imported classes. Instead eclipse recognize them when I change them to <%@ page import=... %> but then tomcat/jetty fails.

<!-- import.tag -->
<%@ tag  import="java.util.List"%><!-- eclipse: compilation error on `List list;` "List can not be resolved to a type", jetty/tomcat: ok -->
<%@ page import="java.util.List"%><!-- eclipse: ok, tomcat/jetty: page directive cannot be used in a tag file -->

<!-- another.tag file -->
<%@ include file="import.tag" %>
<% List list; %>

Is this an eclipse bug? Is there any solution?

Which version are you using? It sounds like a bug, but without version numbers, it's impossible to say. – nitind Dec 21 '11 at 12:55
Not sure why it complained about List, but you should have seen a warning about the page directive. Is this a Maven project? – nitind Feb 03 '12 at 15:10
I have this problem in a simple default web project as well as maven projects. – Ali Shakiba Feb 06 '12 at 11:28
Can you attach the simple default web project to a bug report? – nitind Feb 15 '12 at 06:12
@nitind Finally I reported it! https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=387529 – Ali Shakiba Aug 18 '12 at 12:24
@nitind has there been any progress with this issue? am I really the only one with this problem?! – Ali Shakiba Apr 21 '13 at 16:27
