Reported on behalf of milan.kuchtiak@netbeans.com: JSP and maybe other modules that customize compilation for their data need a a way how they could affect the compiler type's settings for the files being compiled without changing the "global" CompilerType instances shown in Project Settings. It is possible to construct a new CompilerType instance given the original one and copy property values, but it would be nice, if the JavaCompilerType supports cloning itself to a new object that would allow customizing the settings. This feature is crucial, b/c JSP need to force utf-8 encoding for servlets they compile, but the method should _not_ affect user settings specified in Project Settings | Compiler Types.
[1148] Verified CompilerType.clone() is working fine now.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
