Yet another voting with lazy consensus... silence gives assent. 72
hours left.
I think we have to drop JSP 1.2 support in 2.3.24 because of legal
reasons. The jps-api 1.2 artifact can't be found in the Maven Central
Repo, and it can't be upload for legal reasons. This means that as far
as FreeMarker 2.3.x depends on it, it can't be built without
developers getting that jar themselves and putting it into the Ivy
cache or something. (It has worked so far because freemarker.org has
hosted it in its own Ivy repo, but doing such legally gray things
won't go anymore as we move the site to the ASF's infrastructure.)
JSP 1.2 was part of J2EE 1.3 (September 24, 2001), and was replaced by
JSP 2.0 in J2EE 1.4 (November 11, 2003). So hopefully not many users
will be hurt.
