Thank you for chiming in, and you are completely right. I actually just had confirmed exactly this and updated CONTINUUM-2757 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONTINUUM-2757> with a screenshot of continuum running under Java8. The real culprit was the older version of Spring. The other details were related to *building* under Java 8 rather than *running* under Java 8.
I may have conflated the issues because of the recent servlet 3 work I had done. There were problems running the pre-compiled JSPs due to differences in the class runtimes (java.util.Map for example).
