I'm using Liferay Developer Studio 1.6.0v201208241803 on a Mac running Mountain Lion. I've been running through "Liferay In Action" and came across an issue that I'm hoping someone can explain.
When I add a new <portlet> block to portlet.xml, the Eclipse IDE automatically closes the block (which is fine) and then inserts a <supports> block inside the <portlet> one. That's cool, because I need that block anyway. However, if I try to add another block above the <supports> one, the IDE inserts ANOTHER <supports> block above where I'm typing, usually while I'm still typing. This repeats until I give up and leave the added block in place, deleting it when I'm sure I've finished typing inside <portlet>.
Example:
Entering
<portlet></portlet>
results in the IDE adding the bolded code:
<portlet>
[indent]
<supports>
[indent]<mime-type></mime-type>[/indent]
</supports>[/indent]
</portlet>
which becomes
<portlet>
[indent]
<supports>
[indent] <mime-type></mime-type>[/indent]
</supports> <port...
<supports>
[indent] <mime-type></mime-type>[/indent]
</supports[/indent]
</portlet>
if I add anything else above the auto-generated <supports>.
I tried this in other sample projects I've created, and it happens in them too. Any ideas?
Thanks.
