Notes

Here some notes about some requirements and reasons for max version indicated, for future improvements and maintenance :

¹ About Java and Tomcat
- For execution tested on Java v11.
- Build with success with v11, only smoke tests passing on v13, errors with v16.(Details on issue #6935)
- Running with Tomcat 10 causes this issue #7524.
² About NodeJS and NPM:
- NPM 7 not supported yet.
- NPM 6.14.15 causes this issue on MapStore project system. No other know issues.
- If you are using Node >= 12 you can remove the -max_old_space_size=2048 config for the compile script
³ Python is only needed for building documentation.
