You are wrong.
1). It is true that Tomcat trunk (aka Tomcat 8) builds only with jdk1.7.
It is as intended. It is expected to implement the Servlet 3.1 specification.
2). Tomcat 7 builds with jdk1.6 and this status quo has not changed.
Anyway your report noticeably lack of details. You should ask on the mailing
list first, before playing around with Bugzilla.
I thought I would step through the latest trunk BUILDING.TXT
instructions because I haven't updated my sandbox for at least a month.

I wondered whether we still need to tell people how to get a JDK...
if they haven't got one already, and aren't familiar with building
complex projects, they probably shouldn't be encouraged to start
building tomcat from the trunk! In the end, I thought the best
compromise would be to just reference a couple of popular JDKs - we
don't want to seem partisan, but equally don't want to get dragged into
a debate about which is "best".
It might be helpful to list the JDKs that are used to build and test the
production releases, but I don't know what they are.
Here is the trivial change to avoid this kind of confusion for the moment!

I hope my contribution is both simple and helpful.
