JSP pages are portable between containers and JSP engines.  But there is no
requirement that a runtime servlet compiled by a specific JSP engine be
compatible
with other JSP engines.  The class loading for a compiled jsp page is done by
jasper for a page compiled by jasper.

It still can, just tell JspC what package to put the generated servlets in
on the command line.

It doesn't matter what package jasper puts compiled runtime servlets in, it is
all internal to jasper.
