--- Comment #6 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> --- (In reply to comment #5) > That's unrelated to the documentation I reported.

It looks like lots of your problems are coming from the use of Java 8: that's what I'm trying to point out. If you use Java 1.8, it looks like the JSP compiler will auto-downgrade to 1.5 and all your labmdas and stuff will fail to compile. > It boils down to this: I wanted to compile JSPs with Java 8.

Try explicitly using "1.7" as the target VM and see if all your problems go away. We will certainly fix the documentation, but you still need to be able to compile. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
