buildr pre-compile JSP for war?

[Tommy Knowlton]

Hello, all.
I briefly considered this problem some time ago, and tinkered with  
maybe creating a 'compile_jsp' method for buildr, but I was not very  
confident I would be able to get it right, with respect to the overall  
design intent of buildr (assuming there is some overarching design  
intent... ;))

In any case, some other folks in my shop just today approached me with  
the same problem, and I speculated maybe a quick-n-dirty way to  
implement it would be with calling out to Ant, but I'm still not sure.

Has anybody given serious consideration to how such a thing should be  
implemented? Am I the only one interested in such an additional tool  
in the toolbox?

Thanks,
AR
