Question

Given:

1. Upon running mvn clean install JSP compiler jspc reports issues
2. Issues are confirmed real. When deploying code as is (without fixing anything) JSP is broken at runtime
3. Upon fixing the issues and deploying the application, issues go away

Problem: Fix is not recognized by JSPC

How is JSPC called?

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo.jspc</groupId>
            <artifactId>jspc-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                <includeInProject>false</includeInProject>

                    <directory>${basedir}/myapp/src/main/webapp/</directory>
                    <includes>
                        <include>**/*.jsp</include>
                    </includes>
                </sources>
                <source>1.6</source>

                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>

            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo.jspc</groupId>
                    <artifactId>jspc-compiler-tomcat6</artifactId>

                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>

It seems like a classpath problem, but where in pom can it be set please?

Answer 1

Try adding

<workingDirectory>${basedir}/myapp/target/classes</workingDirectory>

inside <configuration> tags
