--- Comment #8 from Nick Williams <nicho...@nicholaswilliams.net> --- I suppose my last comment was tl;dr :-). It was an explanation about the meandering journey on why I had some of the mistaken understandings that I did (and putting the blame squarely on that forum/list posting :-P ). Highlights: 1) It works! I successfully got JSPs compiling in 1.8! And my lambda expressions work as expected. Horray! :-) 2) This bug report was solely for the purpose of saying that the jasper-howto.html documentation for the "compiler" paramater was lacking. That is still the case. My recommended changes: compiler - Setting this parameter automatically enables the Ant compiler instead of the Eclipse JDT compiler. The value specified indicates which compiler Ant should use to compile JSP pages. See the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html#compilervalues";>Ant documentation</a> for the list of valid values for this parameter, which corresponds to the compiler attribute on the Ant Javac task. If the value is not set, then the default Eclipse JDT Java compiler will be used instead of using Ant. No default value. The JDK's tools.jar and Ant's ant.jar and ant-launcher.jar must be on Tomcat's classpath in order for this setting to work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
