What is the best free plugin for Eclipse that allows for formatting/indenting/cleanup of JSP code?

I know that IntelliJ has an option to select all the code in a JSP file, right click, and select "format". This nicely formats all HTML, CSS, scriptlets and JSTL tags in a JSP file.

Can Eclipse do this?

If not, what is the best free Eclipse plugin that does the same?

+1  A: 

I found this one on eclipse plugin central.

Looks like an all in one kind of formatter. I haven't tried it myself but it might be what you are looking for

NXFormat

Looks good, but not free

With the Web Tool Plateform plateform (on eclipse.org website), this is very simple : in the JSP editor tab, right click->source->format (or Shift+Ctrl+F)

The formatter in the WTP usually works pretty poorly for me - and I don't think there is any way to configure it like the regular Java formatter.

yah, the formatter in WTP has broken pages on me numerous times.

Aptana is pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure it has formatting built in.

Unfortunately Aptana does not format the JSP code.
