Tomcat 7.0.73 doesn't work with java 9

Question

Unable to start tomcat based app with java 9 because of default \"java.endorsed.dirs\" option in catalina.sh.

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/local/share/tomcat/en         


        

Answer 1

The above issue was fixed with the later releases of Eclipse but Unfortunately, it appeared again with the release of Java 10. Here is my research : Initially, I installed Java 10 and Eclipse Oxygen 3 which gave me the same error you mentioned in your question. But, at the moment I installed Java 9 and pointed my Apache tomcat runtime server to it, the error was gone.
