Description Timothy Alper 2018-03-07 21:27:39 UTC
The 'Java location' section of the 'Tomcat Setup' doc[1] still seems to suggest that Java 7 can / will be used to run Tomcat.  Of course, the 'Apache Tomcat Version 9.0.5 Release Notes'[2] very much disagree.

I would like to fix that documentation. How can I edit "Apache Tomcat Version 9.0.5 Release Note'

Comment 3 Mark Thomas 2018-03-21 10:39:52 UTC
The release notes do not need editing. They correctly state that Java 8 is required to run Tomcat 9.x.

The file that needs fixing is setup.html and the source for that can be found here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/webapps/docs/setup.xml
or here
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/trunk/webapps/docs/setup.xml

Comment 5 mhkarunarathne 2018-04-16 06:44:32 UTC
I saw the patch on both svn and git. Are there having further works or not?
Comment 6 Mark Thomas 2018-04-16 06:49:27 UTC
No. As per my previous comment, this issue has been fixed.
