I'm currently struggling with similar issues. I think that the problem has something to do with the fact that there was a change between Java 1.7 and 1.8. Java 1.8 requires that the get and set methods of classes be the same type, unlike 1.7 (apparently).
I was able to get CVD to run by downgrading my JDK to 1.7. I did this using jenv (http://www.jenv.be/) on my OSX machine. Once I switched my JDK between 1.8 and 1.7, CVD stopped throwing the exceptions. Yay! Unfortunately, I am still encountering problems when trying to install YTEX so that it creates lookups with the UMLS database that I installed locally, instead of just using the toy dictionary (i.e., creating the umls_aui_fword tables). I get the introspection errors that I thought that I had eliminated by going down to JDK 1.7. My exceptions occur when the build script tries to build a bean for org.apache.ctakes.ytex.weka.GramMatrixExporterImpl. Based on the documentation that I found, this class is deprecated, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error. I don't even know that I need weka. However, I do need WSD, which is why I'm installing YTEX at all.
