Java 7 and 8 features
I analized some releases and i noticed that not using java 7 features like
multi catch and in java 8 do not use lambda expressions and others
features, so i came by this email to know why the developers not using this
features?

Which version of Tomcat were you looking at? Each version targets a
certain java version as its minimum, so cannot use feathers which are
not in that JRE version.

I believe that you are asking the wrong question.
As per this page : http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
"Apache Tomcat™ is an open source software implementation of the Java Servlet and
JavaServer Pages technologies."
In other words, Tomcat is not an implementation of any specific Java version.
If, to fulfill its target of implementing some specific version of the Java Servlet and
JavaServer Pages technologies, it was necessary for running Tomcat code to use a certain
minimum version of the Java JVM, then so be it, and the page above would mention that (and
it does).
But that does not mean that every feature available in such a version of the Java JVM
/must/ necessarily be used by Tomcat.
