jsp custom tags and IDE

[maxpower1]

We're trying to select an IDE for our java jsp app. One concern that pop up is IDE like webgain(formerly visual cafe) puts custom tags in the jsp files.

what are custom tags and what make them bad when it comes to reuse the codes using a different IDE and/or platform?

thanks

Here's the URL for an explanation of custom tags:

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/WebAppDev3/

"JSP custom tags are merely Java classes that implement special interfaces." Theoretically, you ought to be able to use them with any J2EE IDE/app server.

maxpower1,

Those are like comments that IDE’s put into you C++ source code for the wizardy tools they use. In theory they should not effect other IDE’s beyond the fact that they are there.
