Bug ID: 62705
Summary: tomcat 8.5.33+ requires jdk 9
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.33
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: bsut...@noojee.com.au
Target Milestone: ----
My build from tomcat trunk stopped working a little while ago with the error:
build/build.xml:675: javac doesn't support the "release" attribute
Originally I though the problem was that I need the latest version of ant so I
upgraded to ant 1.10.5 .
The problem however persisted.
This leads me to the conclusion that the problem is that the ant scripts now
actually require a minimum of jdk 9 as they are passing the -release flag to
javac.
It was my understanding that tomcat 8 could be built with java 7 onwards.
