And the error

Processing instruction not closed

And this is just the simple JSP

    <form action = "#" method = "POST">
        Username: <input type = "text" name = "username"><br/>
        Password: <input type = "password" name = "password"><br/>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Answer 1

This seems crazy but press ctrl + A,ctrl + x,paste and save the code,Bug is cleared

Answer 2

Also, closing the document and opening it again appears to work (please remember to save the document first).

Answer 3

Try giving a space after @.

<%@ include file="includes/head.html" %>.

Also if head.html is in other directory then absolute path should start with / or .. Try <%@ include file="/includes/head.html" %> or

<%@ include file="../includes/head.html" %>.
