Do you plan to include Tomcat 8 package in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? If yes, when?
1 Answer
No, that is not the way Ubuntu handles software. 14.04 was created with Tomcat 7 and shall remain that way. It will never be included in the default software of 14.04. Tomcat 8 was included in Utopic = 14.10.
If you want newer software in 14.04 you will need to install it yourself by downloading the installation software from the Apache site. There are lots of tutorials on how to do this.
