Compiling Tomcat 7.0.55 with Java 6

Hi All,

I tried to import tomcat 7.0.55 source into eclipse with Java 6, i got few
errors related to Classes which are not present in Java 6. When i upgraded
to Java 7, it got resolved.

Does Java 7 is required for building/compiling tomcat from source? If yes,
then update is required in following page,

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/building.html

Thanks,
Santosh

As expected.

It depends. For full details:
