Not able to compile JSP files in JBoss 5.1 with Java 1.8. Able to compile regular Java files and even complete Spring project which does not have JSPs.
It is working properly, if we kept compiled class files for those JSP files.
Following is the error I am getting when I am trying to run a JSP file:

you have to remove the jasper-jdt.jar from JBoss 5.1. You would find in the following:
jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy\jbossweb.sar\jasper-jdt.jar
I had a similar problem using jasperreport library with JBoss 5.1 AS and jdk 1.8 (no problem with jdk 1.7).
I resolved removing the jasper-jdt.jar from JBoss 5.1. In my project pom I put the dependecy to updated Eclipse Compiler for Java (ECJ) but until I removed the jasper-jdt.jar the problem remains:
