I would very much like to see a JSP compiler task for ant, since I hate to actually fire up a tomcat instance and visit a jsp page before I can even see if it's syntactically correct.
I've written a first version of a <jspc> task, based on both the Tomcat 3.2b7 org.apache.jasper.JspC and the Ant 1.2 org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac. It pretty much works but it is ugly and doesn't log properly. I'm about to begin designing version 2 (well, actually version 0.2), but first I have a couple questions: 1) Is anybody else already working on this? If so, can I help? 2) Is there any documentation for the Tomcat Jasper APIs? Thanks, Alec
