title: How to use Jetty Jspc Maven Plugin for Tomcat 7
body: <p>I use the Jetty Jspc Maven Plugin 9.3.11 as per <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/jetty-jspc-maven-plugin.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/jetty-jspc-maven-plugin.html</a>. The compiled JSPs fail to run due to</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
    org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceImports</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><code>JspSourceImports</code> is an interface introduced with Tomcat 8 and hence not available on Tomcat 7. The Jetty Jspc Maven Plugin doesn't allow me to configure against which Tomcat/JSP version to compile.</p>
  
  <p>I assume that implicitly comes with the specific version of the plugin. So, the question is how to use the Jetty Jspc Maven Plugin for Tomcat 7?</p>
