Tomcat 8 and Java 8 support

[StefanB]

Hi,

When does cPanel / EasyApache plan to support Tomcat 8 and Java 8?

Only supporting Tomcat 7 and Java 7 is becoming a major limitation.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,

Technically cPanel no longer supports Tomcat. It's 100% not supported in CentOS 7, and we're not making many more changes to it in EA3 for CentOS 5 / 6. While support for Tomcat may arrive back in EasyApache 4 at some point, it's not on our radar at this time to work on.

Hi Jacob,

That was indeed very sad news. I sincerely hope that you will revise your decision and include Tomcat 8 (or later) in EasyApache 4. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best
