Hmm. That is annoying. We can't build or ship Tomcat 6 with this version of JDT. However, I wonder if we can make all the other changes apart from changing the JDT JAR so that users that want to use Tomcat 6 with Java 8 can do so by replacing the JDT JAR. On the other hand, if someone is going to update the JVM to Java 8 then they may as well update Tomcat to 7.0.x or later at the same time. On that basis I wonder if there is much point in trying to support Java 8 in Tomcat 6 at all. Thoughts?
