Re: Java comments and HTML

James,

This bug was fixed shortly before the 1.0.0 release.  Is it possible
that you're using a prerelease version?  Did you download GNUJSP from
the web site, or did it come with another product?

If the problem persists, try the latest snapshots.  They appear to
handle this well.  But AFAIK so should 1.0.0.
