JSPChecker

welcome

JSPChecker is a source-code checker for JSPs. It parses JSP / HTML pages for usage of particular tags and scripts such as HTML FORM, Javascript, in-page Java, scriptlets, and custom regular expressions either through an ANT task or command-line tool. The custom expression configuration allows you to check for any regular expression pattern. It also allows the checking of the absence of one expression within the results of another - for example, checking that all input tags have a name attribute, or checking that all pages have a DOCTYPE tag. It is the use of custom regular expressions that makes this tool powerful for maintaining JSP files on large projects.

See the SourceForge.net site for downloads, project details and to make suggestions for improvements or new functionality.
