+      The next BASE release, BASE 3.16, will only support Java 11 or later. BASE 3.15 is 
+      the last BASE version that supports Java 8. Our recommendation is to upgrade to
+      Java 11 as soon as possible. Note that Oracle no longer provide a free JDK or JRE.
+      Instead, OpenJDK has to be used, which can be downloaded from 
+      <ulink url="https://openjdk.java.net/" />

+      If you experience any problems with BASE 3.15 and Java 8
+      you could try removing the listed files from the <filename>www/WEB-INF/lib</filename>
+      directory and then restart Tomcat.
