Description

JSPs may contain symbols that are declared not in the JSP itself, but in a JSP that includes it (although that may be considered bad style).

including.jsp:
<%String foo = "bar"; %>
<%@include file="included.jsp" %>

included.jsp:
<%= foo %>

The result is that such a JSP does not compile on its own and the goal will fail.

This can be circumvented if individual JSPs can be excluded from compilation.
Excluding them from the resources to start with does not help, as they are still required for the including JSPs to compile.
