Debian 8 (Jessie) already support JDK 8 and Tomcat 8.
Tomcat 8 exist in jessie repository and jessie-backports repository. For latest Tomcat 8, we use jessie-backports
Do these easy step to install OpenJDK 8 and Tomcat 8 on Debian Jessie:

Do these easy step to install OpenJDK 8 and Tomcat 8 on Debian Jessie:
- Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines (you may ignore line with #)

- # apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

# Use "-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" to enable the CMS garbage collector (improved
