How To Open the JSP Files in the Source Tab instead of the Visual Editor
This is a regular request we get in the OTN Forum:
how to set JDeveloper to open the JSP files in the Source Editor instead of the Visual (Design) Editor ?
This can be done by changing the IDE preferences;
Select menu Tools | Preferences...
Select File Types in the left panel.
On the right, click tab Default Editors
Select the type of file you want to change (JSP Source in this case).
Select 'Source' in the Default Editor and click OK.
Opening a file of this type will open it in the Source Editor from now.
