[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.8.0 CLE and Tomcat 7

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Mike,

For 2.8 you want to be running Java 6 and Tomcat 5.5. For 2.9 and beyond we are also supporting Tomcat 7, although SAkai still works in Tomcat 5.5.

The developer environment walkthrough mentions Tomcat 7 because it's recommended that developers work with trunk.

cheers,
Steve
