How did you install your copy of Apache Tomcat?
Both the official apache-tomcat-8.5.39.zip and
apache-tomcat-8.5.39.tar.gz files have ecj-4.6.3.jar in them.

Technically, answering the topic of "whether it is required":

1) ECJ is not needed if your web applications do not have JSP pages.
(If they contain only servlets, or where JSPs are pre-compiled).

2) ECJ is not needed if Tomcat is configured to compile JSPs with
javac from JDK. It is possible, but it is a rare configuration.

3) The ecj.jar can be replaced with any newer version.

This specific version (ecj-4.6.3.jar) is the latest one that can run
on Java 7, thus it is bundled with the official release of Tomcat 8.5.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko

ecj-4.6.3 no longer required?

2019-03-26 Thread David Cleary
I'm current updating our server that is based on Tomcat 8.5.x and found that 
ecj-4.6.3.jar is no longer in the distribution. The changelog does not note 
that it has been removed. I just want to confirm that I should remove this 
library as part of the Tomcat update.

Thanks
