     column 86. 
Was expecting one of: 
    "." ... 
    ">" ...

In the JSP EL, == (or !=) is normally used to compare strings, not .equals():

${(fn:length(updateStock.todayDimensionStones) == i.count) && 
  (DimensionStones.status != 'New' || DimensionStones.isInspected != 'No')}

AFAIR, the latest version of the JSP EL allows calling methods, but your IDE is probably out of date and doesn't expect it. Eclipse is well-known for signalling errors that are not errors at all. Trust your app server.
