Take a look at the jasper-howto.html in the tomcat-docs webapp (the "JSPs" link in the tomcat-docs home page). It describes how to "turn off" the Eclipse JDT compiler, which is old enough in Tomcat 5.5.9 that it doesn't include Java 5.0 support. You could also try a newer version of Tomcat 5.5.x and get a version of the Eclipse JDT compiler that does support Java 5.0.
