I have just committed a fix for using JSPC to compile JSP pages that uses tag files. The complication comes from the need to compile tag files into class objects before a JSP page that references them can be compiled. I don't know a better strategy for precompiling an application would be to first compile all the tag files first, then compile the JSP pages after that. The added complication is that a tag file may use other tag files, or even be circularly dependent. > I don't like that new spec feature, overall.
