I'm searching for a tool, which compiles a JSP file into a Java file without using a servletcontainer like Tomcat or something else. Can anyone help me out?

            There is an ant task that is shipped with tomcat that precompiles the jsps:

              Tomcat mentions Jikes as another compiler, but it looks like it is no longer maintained.

              Jikes was a Java compiler, not a JSP compiler.
