Okay  this question was a year ago but I recently got this problem as well   So what I did      Update tomcat 7 to tomcat 8  Update to the latest java  java 1 8 0 141   Update the JRE System Library in Project   Properties   Java Build Path   Make sure it has the latest version which in my case is jre1 8 0 141  before it was the previous version jre1 8 0 111    When I did the first two steps it still doesn t remove the error so the last step is important  It didn t automatically change the build path for jre

same problem with me  This is not a solution but a workaround  which worked for me  Buildpath- Configure buildpath- Libraries-  Here remove the JRE system library pointing to JRE8 and add JRE system library for JRE7

Upgrading to tomcat 7 0 70 resolved the issue for me

Reason   Old versions of Tomcat 6 JSP compiler don t seem to be aware of JDK 8 constant pool enhancements - eg  method handles  New code in JDK 8u is using a method handle instead of creating an anonymous class  This will cause the method handle to be listed in the constant pool and the eclipse compiler will choke on this - https   bz apache org bugzilla show bug cgi id 56613
