Tomcat 8 Maven Plugin for Java 8

Question

Is the tomcat7-maven-plugin working with a tomcat 8 server and java 8? I can\'t find any tomcat8-maven-plugin.

Answer 1

An other solution (if possible) would be to use TomEE instead of Tomcat, which has a working maven plugin:

    org.apache.tomee.maven
    tomee-maven-plugin
    7.1.1

Version 7.1.1 wraps a Tomcat 8.5.41
