Bug ID: 56283
Summary: Add support for Java 8 to Jasper
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.0.3
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Jasper
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: knst.koli...@gmail.com
(Filing an already fixed issue, for better tracking).
Add support for Java 8 for JSP compilation in Tomcat. Allow to use "1.8" as the
value for compilerSourceVM, compilerTargetVM options of JspServlet.
Implementing this feature means that Eclipse JDT compiler bundled with Tomcat
have to be updated to a later version (beyond the 4.3.1 that we are using
today).

Explains what this patch build is, and provides download links.

(A wiki page).
I think it s bit unfortunate that the build number is "P20140317-1600", without
any explicit mention of "4.3" branch in the number, but that is how they did
it.
