Not currently set. When it is set we will provide at least 12 months notice.

The Tomcat project aims to maintain 3 major versions in parallel so 
we'll aim for 8.5.x to reach end of life around the same time Tomcat 11 
reaches stability.

There are currently no plans for Tomcat 11 but keep an eye out for 
Jakarta 11 as Tomcat 11 will track the usual subset of specifications 
from Jakarta 11.

Major Tomcat versions are typically supported for around 10 years 
although that can vary a bit depending on the pace of Java EE / Jakarta 
EE releases.

Given that Tomcat 8's first stable release was 2014-02-02 and that there 
has been no planning for Jakarta EE 11 to date my best guess is that 
8.5.x will be supported for at least 2-3 years from now.

There is no such concept.
