This document is a work in progress.
This document describes the steps required to upgrade the version of the embedded Tomcat, for versions 7.0.27 or greater.

It is not explicitly mentioned but when the jars are copied the prefix tomcat-<VERSION>- must be added to each jar file

remember to update LICENSE and .classpath files
