There need to be new APIs for viewing the generated servlet, and JSP compilation. Draft of these APIs must be ready for M1.
Attaching the first draft of the APIs. The basic goals for the API are as follows: 1) Be independent of the WebData classes (proprietary classes in the j2eeserver module), which will go away when we use JSR 77/88. This way, this API can be made compatible with JSR 88 easily. 2) Allow to easily interoperate with JSR 45. 3) Allow the server/plugin to support viewing the generating servlet, without supporting JSP compilation in the IDE. 4) When the plugin supports compilation in the IDE, the compile step must create the Java class, in addition to the Java file. So far we are only creating the Java file inside the plugin; the class file is created using standars (server-independent) IDE Java compiler.
