Easy to do without hacking Tomcat or distressing Tomcat developers :)
Write a JSP with the imports:
--- imports.jsp ---
<%@page import="a, b, c"%>
------
and include it at the top of any JSPs that need them:
<%@include file="imports.jsp"%>
And one day when you try porting a JRun application to Tomcat, you'll
see why servlet container "features" like implicit imports, or accepting
<%= foo; %> are extremely evil ;)
