Hi Takashi-san, +1 for the patch, but there's something that bothers me - we are starting to duplicate what's already present in ant. Next we'll have gcj support, etc.
How difficult would it be to add an 'ant' compiler adapter, that will just use the ant <javac> task ? And also use the same ant mechansim, a global property - it's possible other tools will need a compiler ( what is cocoon doing ? ) ? Given the current ant dependecy checking ( that use class bytecode to detect dependencies ) we could simplify and generalize most of what's ugly in jasper. This would also allow to automatically compile servlets ( the same as jsps are compiled ), and even to automatically recompile a webapp ( that has a build.xml in WEB-INF ).
