Compiling the 'Project Table' portlet with resin using JDK 1.6 does not work

I tried deleting and re-adding the Project Table portlet, but I still get the following error:

Error rendering /portlets/dashboard/projecttables.jsp: /portlets/dashboard/projecttables.jsp:39: code too large for try statement } catch (java.lang.Throwable jsp_e) { ^ /opt/j2ee/domains/atlassian.com/jira/resin/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/work/_jsp/_portlets/_dashboard/_projecttablesjsp.java:270: code too large for try statement try { ^ /opt/j2ee/domains/atlassian.com/jira/resin/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/work/_jsp/_portlets/_dashboard/_projecttables_jsp.java:23: code too large _jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, ^ 3 errors.
Removing and recreating this portlet may solve the problem.
If not please ask your JIRA adminstrator to send a support request
