Comment 5 Elliott Baron 2016-08-16 21:53:38 UTC 
This appears to be a known issue with JSP compilation with Tomcat on RHEL 6. The current version of ECJ in RHEL 6, which is used by Tomcat to compile JSPs, does not properly support Java 8. We are attempting to upgrade ECJ to a newer version that fully supports Java 8 and should resolve these JSP compilation failures [1].
