When creating a Tomcat server definition in Eclipse WTP, a web.xml file is generated. That generated file specifies fork and xpoweredBy init parameters of the Jasper engine (around line 250), and the rest of the engine accepts defaults.

Tomcat will pick up changes to JSPs faster if by adding the init-param modificationTestInterval, which by default is 4 (seconds), and can be set to 0 (seconds). This parameter is documented here <http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jasper-howto.html>.

Reproducible: Always
