First, you are missing required information: you are not mentioning what exact
x.y.z. version of Tomcat you are using.
Second, for Java 8 you have to use a version of Eclipse ECJ compiler that
supports Java 8. See [1].
The "ClassFormatException" probably means that your version of ECJ does not
know about Java 8 at all.
Note that
1. We cannot update the version of ECJ included with Tomcat 6, as Tomcat 6 must
be able to run on Java 1.5, but current ECJ releases require minimum of Java 6.
2. There are known issues - see bug 56543
3. You may replace ecj-*.jar with a later version that you may download from
http://www.eclipse.org/
See archives of Tomcat Users mailing list, and ask on the mailing list if you
have questions. (Bugzilla is not a support forum).
4. Tomcat can be configured to use Java javac compiler instead of Eclipse ECJ.
