Hi, Thanks for the quick response. Of course incrementing the version number TBH I was surprised to read the release notes containing " increased from Java 7 to Java 8. Also for the few who rely on Servlet and/or JSP support, the minimum is now increased to Servlet 3.0, and JSP 2.2" and only a minor increment in the release number.
