Launching Fiji with Java 8 gives the following javassist failures:

[ ] Cannot handle replace call to list in ij.Menus's public static synchronized java.lang.String[] getPlugins()
[ ] Cannot handle app name in ij.ImageJ's public <init>(java.applet.Applet applet, int mode)

Both seem to stem from a common: java.io.IOException: invalid constant type: 18 at 168

According to this StackOverflow thread, Javassist 3.18.2 can handle Java 8 bytecode. Fiji still ships with 3.16.1.

@dscho Indeed, I just tested with 3.19.0-GA and it works. Thank you very much for the suggestion! See also https://github.com/scijava/pom-scijava/commit/40dc037723fbd5327c482cd0eab6f9fedf682122.
