Tomcat 8.5 : Java SE 7, README.html mistake ?
Hello all,
As far as I know, Tomcat 8.5 requires Java SE 7, as indicated in many
official sources (see below).
However, one quite visible source is stating otherwise and may requires
an update to prevent confusion, the README.html displayed on all mirrors
"Tomcat 8.5 requires Java SE 8 or later. Read the RELEASE-NOTES and
the RUNNING.txt file in the distribution for more details."
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.3/README.html
http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.3/README.html
http://apache.mindstudios.com/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.3/README.html
Sources which are hopefully correct :)
