I have seen some jsp code which include a .inc file like
<%@ include file ="xxx.inc" %>
What are include files?

The "Include" directive is used to include output from other sources such as HTML, JSP, etc. during page translation time, into the output of your JSP page. A Typical example is web sites that have the same header/footer on all pages. Instead of having the same HTML on all pages, that common information can be extracted into a file and then "included" in the resulting JSP at translation time.

Thanks Bosun but here is my real problem: with the include directive a programmer can either include .jsp, .html and .inc files types. Now I know what jsp and html files are but what type of a file is an inc file e.g. fileName.inc. Does it get translated, compiled or anything else? Could we convert a .inc file to a jsp without any problems.

Whatever file you include using <%@include %> becomes part of the .jsp itself. And the .jsp is translated. The type of the included file is completely irrelevant.
