1. blame me for this example, not erik :)
2. blame me for committing the jspc task to ant cvs too. If I'd known how
brittle it was going to be, I never would have.
3. I havent looked at tomcat 4.18 yet. Features and stability of jasper are
always an ongoing issue. Personally I'd like the jasper team to do the back
end of the ant task, so they can keep it in sync.
Your problem implies they are using ant itself for javac compilation, though
I'll have to go into the jasper source to see. One of those 'somebody needs
to sit down and spend an evening looking at jasper' problems.
