java 8 - Jboss AS 7 work with JDK8

Question

I'm trying startup JBoss EAP 7.1.1 Final with JDK 1.8.0_144 in Window 7 enviroment. Each time I run the standalone.bat from command line I got following error. Server halt on starting cannot proceed anymore.

09:20:44,413 INFO  [org.jboss.modules] JBoss Modules version 1.1.1.GA
09:20:45,203 INFO  [org.jboss.msc] JBoss MSC version 1.0.2.GA
09:20:45,265 INFO  [org.jboss.as] JBAS015899: JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" starting

Below is link i download JBoss AS 7.1.1 Final. I also configure my JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variable, I think configuration should not an issue.

http://jbossas.jboss.org/downloads

I found some article mention that Jboss AS 7 unable work with JDK8 but my colleagues is PC is startup with JDK8. I guess should has another way to work up.

AS7.1 does not work on JDK8.
Downgrade to JDK7 or Upgrade AS to WildFly 8. 

Update

After trying, I found Jboss EAP 7.0 or Jboss AS 7.0.0 Final is executable with JDK8, I will downgrade to that version that what I need.

The article you read is correct, JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final does not work on jdk 8. Only EAP 6.3.3 (which is way newer than 7.1.1) and above have jdk8 support

Are you sure your friend is using jdk 8? Even if he is using jdk8, it is not recommended to do so.
