I'm also considering reverting this change: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/build.xml?r1=1510674&r2=1511907&diff_format=h If there are no objections by the time I get the unit tests passing on all three test platforms, I'll make those changes before I tag 8.0.0-RC2 and back-port as appropriate.
