I have a requirement to replace all html comments in all jsp file in my work space with jsp comments. I need to search for all and replace with <%-- --%> and I should not loose the comments.

For Eg

 should be replaced with.
<%-- I have a comment here --%>
I am using eclipse to do this. Please let me know if I have some other better way to do it.

Why don't you simply add a task in your build process that makes sure that no JSP contains <!--? That would be extremely simple to implement, it would educate your developers, it would cost nothing at runtime, and it wouldn't tie your solution to any specific tomcat implementation.
