Why can't we just compile it with OpenJDK 8? There are some of us who 
are still stuck on Java 8 for various reasons (because of dependencies 
of other projects), and I think it would be more convenient to let the 
package be compiled for Java 8 for the time being. As long as Tomcat 
doesn't actually use any Java 10 features, I don't really see the big 
benefit of compiling it with OpenJDK 10 at this stage.
