Description

HWI JSP pages are compiled via the ant jar at run-time. Doing so at run-time requires ant as a dependency and also makes developing slightly more tricky, as compiler errors are not discovered until HWI is deployed and running. HWI should be instrumented in such a way where the JSP pages are compiled by ant at build-time instead, just as the Hadoop status pages are.
