How to make Eclipse to format JSP code properly?

I use code formatting command (Ctrl + Shift + F) a lot in Eclipse IDE. While this works pretty well for Java / CSS source codes, the JSP formatting is just sucks.

Is there any plug-in available to make the JSP formatting better in Eclipse IDE? By formatting I mean proper indenting of JSP/HTML tags.

A: 

A quick search with Google turns up this part of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench.

But a quick, if obvious, question: do you have the J2EE tools installed?

@MyEclipse - Isn't it commercial? :)Yes. I have the JEE tools installed.

This screen just shows the WTP (which is part of Java EE tools, yes). Besides, MyEclipse isn't much different from Eclipse nowadays.

once you press Ctrl+Shift+F in a properly indented JSP code, you'll feel what i'm going through. :-D

Yes, I know. I never use it in JSP as well. There is afaik no plugin which does it *right*.
