Tomcat major versions are aligned with Java EE versions which in turn have a minimum Java version. Tomcat supports 3 current versions in parallel so we currently have: Tomcat 9 - Java EE 8 - Java 8 Tomcat 8 - Java EE 7 - Java 7 Tomcat 7 - Java EE 6 - Java 6 Tomcat 7 support will continue until at least Java EE 9 is released. That is meant to be next year but there are no firm dates yet and experience suggests the Java EE 9 release date will slip. On that basis I expect Tomcat to need a Daemon that supports Java 6 for at least 2 more years. Is there a user requirement driving an increase in the minimum Java version? If not, I suggest we stick with 6 for now.
