> why must i use java6 to compile tomcat7 Because Sun (not Oracle) added methods to an interface class in JDK 7 that Tomcat does not implement, resulting in errors during compilation. Tomcat cannot add the methods in question since doing so would make it impossible to run Tomcat on JDK 6. Sun did not think that one through. > how could it exist such a incompatible between them..
