Do you plan to include Tomcat 8 package in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? If yes, when?

    Somebody already requested a backport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/trusty-backports/+bug/1423781. You can also try to backport it yourself with the template instructions in the bug report. – David Foerster Mar 17 '15 at 11:40

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.
