3.0.2 release

The JSP translator currently inserts opening and closing braces for each start and end tag, and also any server-side scripting variables they create.  While this ends up being correct if the document is properly written, the generation of braces makes for Java errors if there are problems in the tags.  And that's a problem since one of the ideas behind JSP is that the page creator isn't supposed to *need* to know Java, and Java error messages aren't particularly helpful.  Correcting the braces handling to only generate a single pair per start and end tag pair will allow us to prevent the Java syntax error from being created.  Of course we'll want to report the unbalanced tags directly instead.

That start/end tag reporting is separately tracked in bug 243663.
