  ent, even though it is possible in Java syntax to omit this. The
   below error is displayed in the source editor and Problems tab.
   Turning off the JSP syntax validator will make the error disapp

Local fix

Problem summary

• Having an if-statement without braces will cause the
  translated Java to include some other generated region of
  code as part of the if().
  

Problem conclusion

• After translating a scriptlet, we now implicitly supply a
  "markup placeholder".  This will allow an unclosed statement
  to have content without throwing off the remainder of the
  translation.
  

Temporary fix
