Bug#906447: tomcat8: Errors thrown when connecting

[Vassilis Virvilis]

Hi,

 I suppose this a maintainer decision (compile with java8 or 10) but the
bug in #895866 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895866
seems to indicate that tomcat8 implies java8 compatibility.

I would certainly preferred it that way.

Sorry for the duplication I failed to reply to 906447 at bugs.debian.org
