To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:
- Go to Window > Preferences > Tomcat.
- Select "Version 8.x" and click OK.
- With Eclipse's "Debug" View open, click the "Start Tomcat" button in the menu bar.
- In the Debug View, note that the top line of the newly-created entry says "Tomcat 7.x [Java Application]" instead of "Tomcat 8.x [Java Application]". (See the attached screenshot.)
This also happens when selecting "Version 9.x" in the Tomcat preferences.
See the attached screenshot.
Fixed, will go live with next release.
