I haven't looked at this with Java 8 yet but it strikes me as odd that that particular patch fixes a Java 8 issue. It is unlikely that that fix would be backported as it is a fairly large API change. I'm not sure how public that API is considered to be. > This is an issue in Debian where Tomcat is built from the sources, we > would like to switch to Java 8 as the default JDK but several packages > still fail to build.
