I am using:

1. Java - jdk1.8.0_51
2. Tomcat - apache-tomcat-5.5.26

Assuming you are using some IDE, like Eclipse. When you are using jdk 1.8 with IDE, you need to update your IDE to support version 1.8.

It does not matter you are using new jdk's feature or not, but compiler has to load new JRE files in order to compile your project.
