We do offer it as a downloadable repository at https://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/ . The JSP tools are in the Java Web Developer Tools feature in the wtp-repo download and requires the EMF & XSD download as well as the Java development tools. EDIT: also the online simultaneous release site at https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest/ .
You will only see this error message on JSP files you have previously opened with the JSP Editor, in which case that ID was remembered as the default for that file. New workspaces won’t have that exact/obscure error message.
With STS4 we tried to reduce the number of pre-installed plugins and extensions to a somewhat reasonable minimum to have a lightweight and well-performing distribution. Therefore I am reluctant to re-add the JSP editor back into the default distribution. If enough people demand that, we can do it, but it would be good to get more feedback here and let people vote for it with a thumbs-up reaction maybe. What do you think?
