I'm trying to use Ant's JSPC task to pre-compile my JSPs. I've used Erik Hatcher's example from Java Development with Ant. It works great when using a 4.0.x version of Tomcat, and the following jasper.classpath:
<path id="jasper.classpath">
<fileset dir="${tomcat.home}/lib">
<include name="jasper-*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${tomcat.home}/common/lib">
<include name="servlet.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
However, it doesn't work on Tomcat 4.1.17. I had to change the jasper.classpath to find the appropriate jars (they're in different directories now), plus I had to include ant.jar or I got java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/AntClassLoader. Where everything works on the older Tomcat version, now it fails - what gives?
compile-jsp:

It's no fun to work all day on a Saturday. It's even less fun when java.blogs is out of commission. I did a little research and while atlassian.com is still up, most of the JIRA instances for open source projects (i.e. Roller, XDoclet) is down. It appears (via ping-analysis) that the OSS JIRA instances are hosted on the same server as java.blogs. Since I'm getting a ping reply from this server, I'm assuming the servlet container is down and everyone in AUS is partying it up all weekend. I hope it's fixed when they get back to the office on Monday. That's Sunday for us right?
I have both Entourage and Mail on my machine. Has anyone connected successfully to an Exchange server with either of these products? I can connect successfully using Entourage and treating it as an IMAP server, but it wants an SMTP server to send mail, and they don't have one of these at work. Any ideas?
Not recommended by me (as I haven't done it yet), but by the project itself. It doesn't look like they've fixed the most needed feature for me. The "view selected text" feature that Mozilla has. My default browser has changed from Chimera to Mozilla on the Mac because of this feature. Of course, this feature is only needed when I'm blogging a lot and since that has been sporadic lately, I might switch back to Chimera.
I found out at work yesterday that there's a fat chance of getting a better desktop. So my Powerbook has now become my in-the-office development environment. I don't mind, I just wish BBEdit had a Homesite-like Explorer window. Of course, since there is no Explorer and Finder sucks, this might be wishful thinking. Also, I'd love for a CVS app like TortoiseCVS for the Mac - sure makes things easier. I'm a GUI-guy, can you tell ;)
In an effort to satisfy my Windows-app-cravings, I just downloaded the Virtual PC 6 upgrade [screenshot]. Version 5 sucked as it was soooo slow. And I really had no need for it, as I could use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection client to connect to my Windows machine. Now that I'm in the office, this is no longer an option. I hope this is faster than the 700Mhz/128MB machine at work!
