Compiling of JSP-Sites

Hi there is there any way to compile JSPs without using an alpha Version of Ant 1.5 In our project we have over 20 JSPs and we want to exclude all errors which are based on incorrect writing of a variable or command. So we only have to handle with runtime errors if the web-client is build.

Use the available task and the if/unless attributes of the target. Only targets can be conditionally run this way, the available task has to be wrapped in its own target, and the targets need to be chained with the depends attribute. Example:
