Hey Zoltan thank you very much for the instructions. I also agree that Ubuntu should continue to support Tomcat9 on JDK8 for the same reason. With Debain it is less clear as they do not provided a JDK8 package in the official repositories any more, so I understand their reasoning.
As a side note, I would like to say that Debain Bullseye (stable) currently ships with libeclipse-jdt-core-java 4.18 (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libeclipse-jdt-core-java), which appears to be compiled for Java 8. I have just successfully installed a Java 8 only tomcat9 web application on Debian Bullseye by installing JRE8 using the third party Adoptium repository to install temurin-8-jdk (see https://adoptium.net/installation/linux) Obviously this does not solve the issue in regards to Ubuntu but I thought the information may be useful to some. It is unfortunate that this workaround will no longer be possible for the next major Debian release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972829 Title: 22.04 tomcat9 with openjdk8 JSP compilation error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/1972829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
