Bug#895866: Bug 895866
Dear Emmanuel, Tomcat 8.5.31 was released a few weeks ago. Have you had time to look at this since then? It seems there are quite a few people watching this bug now.

I can definitely wait (our application won’t even run on Java >= 8 yet). I just wanted to make sure the bug was being tracked.

Bug#895866: tomcat8: Errors thrown when connecting to default HTTP connector (localhost:8080)
Ubuntu imported tomcat8/8.5.31 just before the 18.04 release and Tomcat will not run with OpenJDK 8 there either. Will you be waiting for a new Tomcat release before re-compiling tomcat8 to work with OpenJDK 8, or can we schedule something sooner?
