Bug ID: 62705 Summary: tomcat 8.5.33+ requires jdk 9 Product: Tomcat 8 Version: 8.5.33 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Packaging Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: bsut...@noojee.com.au Target Milestone: ---- My build from tomcat trunk stopped working a little while ago with the error: build/build.xml:675: javac doesn't support the "release" attribute Originally I though the problem was that I need the latest version of ant so I upgraded to ant 1.10.5 . The problem however persisted. This leads me to the conclusion that the problem is that the ant scripts now actually require a minimum of jdk 9 as they are passing the -release flag to javac. It was my understanding that tomcat 8 could be built with java 7 onwards. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
