I received the following stack trace when attempting to use Enunciate to generate documentation for a Java project. I am using JDK 1.8.0_25 and Enunciate 1.30 RC1.

What is the cause of this problem?
Enunciate 1.30 RC1 does not support Java 1.8 as it relies on classes which were removed.
This is targeted at Enunciate 2.
