Hi all,

There was a problem discovered on Ubuntu where they're building Tomcat
9 with Java 9, but users are using it with Java 8. That is causing
issues because of changes made in Java 9. One of the Ubuntu folks is
poking around with a patch and has some details about the issue here
https://pastebin.com/EnVh7K8v. We will probably open a bugzilla to see
if anyone is open to addressing them in tomcat, but while thinking
about the problem I noted that our supported java versions table on
http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html doesn't explicitly say that
by 'supported' we mean the tomcat binary we provide will run on that
java version. I don't think that we claim that you can build with any
version and run on any version anywhere, right? Is anyone opposed to
adding a statement to that effect on the page?


Thanks,
Coty
