This is a known problem in some versions of Tomcat, due to a known
problem in some versions of ANT, due to a known problem with
command-line length on windows.
It relates to the path length that is used by ANT when compiling your
JSP.
If the path is longer than the max, then the initial '"' is there but
the final one is chopped. So if you have spaces in the path it will fail
as you say. We hit this bug too.
My guess is you are using 4.1.24? (maybe 21/27 too, but it broke in 24
for me). Try 4.1.29 - that seems better (embeds a newer version of
ANT), although I think theoretically its not entirely fixed. (I think
they put quotes around each element, but that could still mean the path
is chopped. Not sure on this though.)
Your other apps worked because the their paths (e.g. package names) are
shorter, or they depend on fewer 3rd party JARs.
Hope this helps.
