If I try and compile a .jsp file with jspc I have to specify the uriroot
even if it's the current directory

so bin\jspc index.jsp fails with
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:181)
        at org.apache.jasper.JspC.parseFiles(JspC.java:438)
        at org.apache.jasper.JspC.main(JspC.java:601)

whereas

bin\jspc -uriroot . index.jsp works fine,
