I'm a little surprised at the nonchalance here. In my mind, this is a
pretty serious bug that will cause many people a good amount of headaches,
myself included.
Tomcat 8.5 does not intrinsically require Java 9, so, introducing a
dependency by compiling it with Java 9 seems the wrong choice to begin
with. And having a package declare a dependency on Java 8 when it really
depends on Java 9 is a major bug; the package will install without errors
but will not actually work.

Personally, I would like to see a higher priority on this bug. And I'm sure
I will not be the only one who will appreciate this problem being fixed.
