Jikes 1.18 JSP compiler support broken in TC 4.1.27

[Chris Brown <br...@reflexe.fr>]

Hi,

I tried switching to Jikes with Tomcat release 4.1.27 (LE-JDK1.4), and it
would appear that the version of "ant.jar" you use internally in Tomcat to
compile JSP pages is out of date with regards to the latest versions of
Jikes (which have been around for a while now).

The Javac Ant task is specifying an "-encoding" option for Jikes, which
Jikes is refusing.  I'm using "Jikes Compiler - Version 1.18 - 21 November
2002" (according to the "jikes -version" command) on Win2000.  See below for
Jasper's output.

I have no problem using Jikes standalone, or with Ant 1.5.3's Javac task
(outside of Tomcat).

I'm using Sun's JDK 1.4.2 on Win2000 SP4.

Hope this helps,
Chris B.
