Unable to deploy a Java EE 8 project on EAP 7.2

Unable to deploy a Java EE 8 (servlet 4.0) project on EAP 7.2, it does not support version 4.0 of the J2EE Web module specification.

The project implements a simple servlet war that imports the org.jboss.bom:jboss-eap-javaee8:7.2.0.GA:pom.

I am using adapter 3.6.2.v20190208-1835 which I think is the latest.

According to JBIDE-26307 the 7.1 server adapter should be be used for EAP 7.2.
