Doesn't run on Java 8

[Captain-Chaos]

I can't run the petclinic example with Java 8 on Linux; it fails to start with the following error:

| Error Compilation error: startup failed:

When I change JAVA_HOME to Java 7, it does work, so it must be some incompatibility with Java 8.

Java 8 support was added in Grails 2.4, the example hasn't been updated yet

FYI: I am working on updating the sample app to 2.4.

closing this as the Grails 3.0 versions runs fine on Java 8
