My web application runs fine on JDK 1.7 but crashes on 1.8 with the following exception (during application server startup with Jetty 8). I am using Spring version: 3.2.5.RELEASE.
org.springframework.core.NestedIOException: ASM ClassReader failed to parse class file - probably due to a new Java class file version that isn't supported yet
I assume that problem occurs because of spring and "asm.jar" library on which it depends.
How do I resolve this?
