Kirk,
We currently use your Tomcat 7 port for dev but we're going to move to
Jetty for technical reasons.
Java 8 gives us better options WRT libraries. We can ditch Joda for the
JRE datatime package and use modern techniques like lamdas. Not to
mention the other reasons
others have posted to my survey.
Of course, we will have to implement our own login module and SAF
support but Jetty has good support for that.
One of the features I particularly liked about your Tomcat port was the
zfile URL protocol handler. We will have to write one if we decide to
use PDS data sets for config files.
David,
FYI, we recently updated our free z/OS port / packaging / enhancements to
Apache Tomcat to include Tomcat 8, which requires Java 7.

We decided to use Java 7 because most sites probably have that installed
already and having a dependency on Java 8 might be POC obstacle for some
sites. But Java 8 has a lot of benefits.
I'm wondering how common Java 8 is at your site?
