EOL of Apache Tomcat 8.5 & 9
Hi team,
What is the planned EOL Date for Apache Tomcat 8.5 & Apache Tomcat 9? Any rough estimation?
Thanks!
Regards,
Voon

CAUTION: If you don’t recognize the sender or if you recognize the sender but the contents of this email seem “off” to you, verify the contents with the sender before opening links or attachments.
We need to make the formal announcement for 8.5.x. I'll try and get that done today (I keep getting distracted with other things). It will be 31 March 2024.
Tomcat 9 is a special case. As the last major Tomcat version that supports Java EE (Tomcat 10 onwards supports Jakarta EE) we plan to handle it differently.
The exact plan is somewhat vague as implementation is still multiple years (best guess 4+ years) away so while I have described this plan several times on the users list, don't be surprised if the details aren't always the same.
9.0.x will reach EOL in the usual way. Best guess for that is 31 March
2027 but that could be out by at least a year.
At that point 9.10.x will be created which will:
- continue to support Java EE 8
- be as closely aligned to the 10.1.x code base as it can be while still
supporting the Java EE 8 API
To put it another way, 9.10.x will have all changes seen between 9.0.x and 10.1.x apart from the Java EE API which will remain unchanged.
HTH,
Mark

Pretty sure the reason 9.0 gets it's own life cycle and "9.10." stuff is
that it, 9, will NOT support jakarta. It's an imports thing for one, so
unless your version of java has conditional compilation...

No. 9.x will only support Java EE 8.

This is probably answered somewhere, but will Tomcat 9 support Jakarta EE as well as Java EE?
