The user probably should _not_ be able to edit the _standard_ copy. You should probably define a subclassing mechanism. I'm thinking of the way you can write your own base class for JSPs and then have a JSP say that it extends that subclass. (If users edit the original class in one Ant installation, code tasks that run in that installation won't run in an unmodified Ant installation (and without a clear "can't find special base class" message).) Regarding generating source, compiling it, and managing optimiziations, can you use anything from Tomcat's JSP-processing code? (I'm not familiar with it at all, but it sounds likely to be useful.)
