piler should generate a line like :
String foo = "testing %>";
While I agree that
String foo = "testing %\>";
is invalid java code, it is the JSP compilers responsibility to convert the
JSP escape sequence.

Where are you trying to use this escape?
If you are inside a string literal in a
I was inside a scriplet, setting up a string that contains the character
"%>":
<%
String foo = "testing %\>";
%>
I ended up doing:
<%
String foo = "testing %" + ">";
%>
But the first code segment should work according to the JSP 1.1 spec.

Yes, I see what you mean. I guess it is a matter of what happen first.
If the escape happens first, then the JSP
<% String foo = "testing %\>"; %>
would be translate to the following java code
String foo = "testing %>";
Then it would be valid java code.
However, it seems to me in Tomcat, the
s the JSP compilers responsibility to convert the
JSP escape sequence.
