rhel8: 'tomcat' and 'ant' require Java8 even though newer java is installed
Issue
When installing packages tomcat
or ant
on RHEL8.8, then Java8 is pulled in via dependencies, even though Java 17 is already installed.
There is a bugzilla, Bug 2173874 - Tomcat installs older java even though newer java is installed. It looks the issue already reported and will be resolved in the future tomcat version.
We are hereby asking the same for ant
.
Which java
versions are actually supported to be used with the tomcat
package in RHEL?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8
- Java
- ant
