Not Java8 compliant

The Spring framework (version 2.x) is not Java 8/Tomcat 8 compliant.

This error occurs :
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Context namespace element 'annotation-config' and its parser class [org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigBeanDefinitionParser] are only available on JDK 1.5 and higher.

Please see : https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-11899

I hope I'm clear enougth.
