A trick to find easily problems is to launch gedit in a console. For
example, I added your ".lang" file in my local folder
"~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/" and then I launched
gedit with a ".jsp" file as argument:


$ gedit a-file.jsp
(gedit:19888): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Failed to load
'~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/jsp.lang': in file
~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/jsp.lang on line 38:
Opening and ending tag mismatch: definitions line 37 and define-regex


We can read that line 38 causes problem:

  define-regex id="prefix">[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*</define-regex>

Actually it lacks a <, so replace the line by:

  <define-regex id="prefix">[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*</define-regex>

Note that you must close gedit and reopen it after modifications to a
".lang" file. So close gedit and reopen it:


$ gedit a-file.jsp
(gedit:20133): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Failed to load
'~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/jsp.lang': in file
~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/jsp.lang on line 44:
Opening and ending tag mismatch: context line 41 and scontext


Line 41:

  </scontext>

must be changed for:

  </context>

Then, close and reopen gedit. Another problem:


$ gedit a-file.jsp
(gedit:20301): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Failed to load
'~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/jsp.lang': id de
contexte « java:java » en double


Actually lines 69, 77 and 85 all have:

        <context id="java:java"/>

An "id" must be unique. You must use the "ref" attribute instead of "id"
for the 3 lines:

        <context ref="java:java"/>

Close and reopen gedit:


$ gedit a-file.jsp
(gedit:20803): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Failed to load
'~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/jsp.lang': référence de
contexte « jsp:number » non valide


The line 95 has a problem:

     <context ref="number"/>

The context "number" included for "jsp" doesn't exist. Actually the
context is named "numeric" to the line 52:

  <context id="numeric" style-ref="number">

so you must change the reference of the line 95:

     <context ref="numeric"/>

Close and reopen gedit:


$ gedit a-file.jsp


and now it works. There's no longer error message. See the attachment to
this e-mail. It's the working "jsp.lang" file.
