If you review the Tomcat 6 documentation here:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html#SSL_Support  ,
you will see "sslEnabledProtocols."   On the desc. for that setting there
are links for Java 6 and Java 7 protocol lists, and they both include
SSLv2.  Not nitpicking here, just know that I saw it.  I was looking at the
TC 6 -> Java 6 / 7 documentation because I was working with Tomcat 6 and
Java 7.

I understand it is not in the Java 8 documentation.   I attached a
screenshot.
