LinkageError in Play 1.5.3 on JAVA 8

Play Framework
1

Hi,

I get the following error both in dev and prod modes:

14:16:01,775 INFO  ~ Starting /var/workspace/server
14:16:12,119 INFO  ~ Precompiling ...
14:17:03,761 ERROR ~ Cannot start in PROD mode with errors

The following patch works around the problem:

                 BytecodeCache.cacheBytecode(applicationClass.enhancedByteCode, name, applicationClass.javaSource);

Is there a better way to avoid the LinkageError without modifying Play code?

Thanks.
