I'm trying to move a spring mvc project from jboss 7.1.1 to Tomcat 8. I have Tomcat 8 installed via the windows service package and it's successfully running. I'm using intellij to deploy the exploded jar for the project, and I'm getting a startup error with Tomcat that I can't seem to figure out. It may be a simple setup issue, but I'm not sure. I'll post the server output below. I can send more info, although I'm not sure where tomcat stores the logs on windows.

Most common issue with Tomcat note starting is that Java is not configured properly, user trying to start Tomcat does not have permissions to do so, or another program is using port 8080 on that server.
If you're not creating a new project from scratch and instead have an existing project that runs on Tomcat, you can configure IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate to connect to your existing Tomcat installation.
There will be an option to Edit Configurations. In the resulting popup, click the Add icon, then click Tomcat and Local. From that dialog, you will need to click the Configure... button next to Application Server to tell IntelliJ where Tomcat is installed.
In my case the issue happened because for some reason IntelliJ now wants the war exploded. I solved by going to Run/Debug Configurations; Click in Server tab; in "Before Launch: Build Artifacts"; removing what is there; and adding Build 'your-artifact:war exploded'
It was sdk version mismatch for me too but I added 2 steps to make it worked.
Edit Configurations -> change JRE version which is same as step 1
Command Window -> >mvn clean compile
After compile package it by passing tests-> mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true package
Clean compile is more important than packaging so you can give try to RUN after compile(step 3)
