Jsp's are run by a web container like Tomcat or JBoss. (Web containers are able to convert to a Java class (servlet actually) and then compile it.)
There is a plugin that can be installed into Eclipse that runs Tomcat and deploys your JSP's. Look into MyEclipse software and/or find a Tomcat plugin for Eclipse.

I have got WST plugin installed, created a new dynamic web project called nutch071web, and imported all the webcontent and jars. But, it failed to run index.jsp page, see error message below. Is anyone using eclipse to debug nutch jsp pages? Will appreciate some pointers from you.
