Tag body content type

Reports JSP tag body content that does not conform to the TLD body-content specification.

If empty body content is specified, the tag should have an empty body.

If scriptless body content is specified, the tag's body should not contain JSP scriptlets.

The quick-fix removes a tag's body for empty content type, and removes scriptlets if scriptless content type is specified.

Example:

<s:empty>body not allowed here</s:empty>
<s:scriptless>say: <% System.out.println("hey"); %></s:scriptless>

After the quick-fix is applied:

<s:empty/>
<s:scriptless>say: </s:scriptless>
