All Tomcat requires is the Java JRE. For the versions, see http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
My recommendation is to save yourself a lot of grief by not relying on your Linux distro for either Java or Tomcat. Pick the versions of each that you want/require, download them from Oracle and Apache, install each, set your environment, and go. This way updates are not applied inadvertently. I'm dealing with a known set-up that I can replicate elsewhere, and I'm better able to pinpoint an error when something goes wrong.
