The type java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved

Question

I've a JSP file which needs the class Map, which belongs to javax.script (if I'm not wrong).

I've imported it, but I'm getting the following error:

The type java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

After doing a bit of research, I think it's because I need to have a jar file which contains it, but I don't know how can I find it (neither to which jar, nor the place to download it).

Could you explain me how to find it (as it would be useful for future cases) or provide a link?

Thank you so much

I had already imported `java.util.*` @stackoverflowuser2010 =S — Btc Sources, May 24 '15 at 18:25

I've read them both @stackoverflowuser2010, but don't find anything useful since I'm not using an IDE nor building my code (since it's a JSP). Both my compiler and tomcat6 are using `1.8.0_45` (if not there would be an "minor/major version" error), so i don't understand the problem =( — Btc Sources, May 24 '15 at 18:40
I can try, but the target computer has to work with 1.8, so I would need a way to make it work with Java 8.. — Btc Sources, May 24 '15 at 20:17
One reason might be that Tomcat 6 does not run with Java 8 (nor do some versions of Tomcat 7; I stumbled over that problem myself once): http://stackoverflow.com/a/21322569/694804 — jCoder, May 24 '15 at 21:15
This seems to fit with the answers given in the questions which stackoverflowuser2010 posted @jCoder, thanks so much — Btc Sources, May 25 '15 at 07:11

(Just for the sake of completeness.)

So, it is highly suggested to use a recent version of Tomcat 7.0.x (or even 8) when using Java 8.
