       <para>
-        This is a major change that has caused a binary compatibility in the BASE core
-        API. If you depend on custom extensions or plug-ins that use the biomaterial list
-        API this code must be updated before updating to BASE 3.5. Read more
-        about the incompatibilities in <xref linkend="appendix.incompatible.itemlists" />.
+        BASE will no longer run with Java 7. Unless you have already
+        updated to Java 8 you should do so before updating to BASE 3.6.
+        Note that BASE 3.5 also works with both Java 7 and 8 so the Java 
+        update can be made ahead of time.

-        Oracle is no longer supporting Java 1.7. We are recommending Java 8
-        for running BASE. Java 7 is still supported, but will be removed
-        in the next version (BASE 3.6).

-      <para>
-        We have now tested BASE with Tomcat 8 and it seems to work without
-        any problems. Support for Tomcat 7 will be removed in the next 
-        version (BASE 3.6).
