Download the Lomboz plugin. It's a general J2EE plugin for Eclipse with 
an excellent JSP editor. It also supports debugging of JSP (if your 
servlet container does. Tomcat 5 does so...)

You find Lomboz at:
http://www.objectlearn.com/index.jsp

Nice tutorial on Lomboz is here (nothing on debugging though):
http://www.tusc.com.au/tutorial/html/index.html

You can find documentation on debugging JSPs with Lomboz here:
