tomcat version question

["Robert J. Carr" <rj...@apl.washington.edu>]

Hello.

There is a "which version" page on the main site which is really useful,
and it lists all the versions of the various specs related to the version
of tomcat, but a really important one IMO that is missing is the Java EE
version, so I can look up the api docs.

Is there a reason why this is omitted?  Currently, I have to look up the
servlet spec, and then cross reference that with the Java EE to find the
appropriate docs.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks-
Robert

Have you seen the Specifications page in the Wiki?
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Specifications

I updated the whichversion page with a link to there (r1822243).

Minimum Java version == Java EE version (at least for Tomcat 7.x, 8.x
and 9.x).

Tomcat doesn't implement the full Java EE spec so I'd be cautious about
listing it in case it causes confusion. If we can find the right wording
to use I wouldn't have any objection to adding a Java EE column.

What will happen now Java EE is moving to Eclipse is a whole other issue...
