[mojo-user] using org.codehaus.mojo jspc-maven-plugin to precompile jsp pages

[Mehrabian, Mehran]

Hi There,
I am using maven build for a weblogic portal project.
We want to include the JSP pre-compilation in the build process and here is the 
plugin that I am using for maven.

I am getting following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Java compiler available
        at 
org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.createCompiler(JspCompilationContext.java:224)

however jasper-compiler is in the repository (5.5.15) and it is included as 
dependency as well.

I wonder if you could help with:
A_ is this plugin is good to be used with JSP running under WLP server
B_ Is it the correct plugin to be used for JSP precompile (What version?)
C_ Any idea about missing library (though I do see the compiler class in the 
classpath!) ?

Best Regards,
_mehran
