Hi,
see the exact same failures in the github-migrated sources, which have not been touched
since 1 or two weeks.
The very same worked yesterday, so I guess that the specific version
of stuff for jspc is all of a sudden no longer available in some upstream repo.
In my opinion, the latter is preferable as most if not all those JSP
are not used anymore. Besides I'm not sure the precompiled JSP are used as we do
nothing with the web.xml file generated by the jspc plugin (see
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Maven+Jetty+Jspc+Plugin). How the generated
servlets classes could be used if they are not declared in the war descriptor?
I fear, that if someone hits a jsp page, the server will still recompile all of them,
which is an undesired hit.
Not pre-compiling them is a good option if we finally slim down the JSPs to the absolute
minimum
Heiko
