I'm not seeing this issue in my environment. I've pulled and built Tomcat 8
from SVN though. Perhaps you could try that and see if the issue has already
been resolved?
Here are the steps I followed:
1.) Check out Tomcat 8 from SVN (svn co
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/ tomcat-trunk)
2.) Build (instructions can be found here ->
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/BUILDING.txt)
3.) cd to output/build/
4.) cd to lib
5.) mkdir -p org/apache/catalina/util
6.) unzip catalina.jar org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties
7.) Edit org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties, replace info with
"N/A".
8.) ./bin/startup.sh
9.) Check the logs, which were clean for me.
10.) curl http://localhost:8080/does-not-exist verify output has version listed
as "N/A".
