Hi Ameer thank you very much!
Indeed this seems to be an issue in for OS X. They just forgot to check-in the code ;) I will follow your suggestion. Linux is working fine with Java 8, tomcat 8.

Compared with update 20 of jre/jdk8 release, you will see following lines of code has been added to getPlatfromMBeanServer: for (final PlatformManagedObject o : ExtendedPlatformComponent.getMXBeans()) { if (!platformMBeanServer.isRegistered(o.getObjectName())) { addMXBean(platformMBeanServer, o); } But if you look into the accompanied rt.jar of the jre, this newly introduced class(ExtendedPlatformComponent) can NO-WHERE be found. This issue, seems to be there across all the JAVA_VERSION="1.8.0_40" EA release, irrespective of platform. Your remedy is to move back to a stable release. Latest stable release seems to be Java SE 8u25.

My $JAVA_HOME is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home Then I downloaded a tomcat 8 core from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi When I start this tomcat 8 I get the following Java exceptio - see below. With this Java 8 also my older tomcat 7 throws the same exception. The official oracle java test page (https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) says, I have already java uptodate. The exception: It seems that "sun/management/ExtendedPlatformComponent" be not part of tomcat 8 nor java 8 ... Does anyone have some hints for me? I cannot figure our what is wrong ... Thank you very much in advance!
