Add excludes parameter to JspC

           Summary: Add excludes parameter to JspC
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.28
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: andrew.chapman@clicktools.com


The lack of an "excludes" parameter in JspC was a major factor in delaying our 
migration to TC 5.0. Our app build relies on being able to exclude certain jsp 
files (reusable static include files) which do not compile out of their 
intended context. Whilst we could get the app to compile by ignoring the 
failures, the resulting web.xml, as well as being twice the size was also full 
of incorrect mappings.

I've attached the JspC.java patch I use which adds support for an "excludes" 
parameter for consideration.

The "excludes" parameter is an ant style comma separated list of paths 
including "*" and "**" wildcards e.g. **/test.jsp,/do_not_include.jsp. This is 
parsed and compiled into a org.apache.regexp.RE which is used to determine 
whether an individual file is excluded.

All diffs are against the 5.0.28 release code.

It creates a dependency with jakarta-regexp and my nieve patch to the 
jasper/build.xml is also attached and patches to jasper/resources files in 
English, Spanish and French.
