run-app fails using Tomcat 8 with JNDI resources

[joosth]

Run-app fails on Tomcat8 when JNDI resources are defined in Config.groovy (grails.naming.entries) with the message below.
It appears InlineExplodedTomcatServer.groovy tries to load a org.apache.catalina.deploy.ContextResource (in line 191) which is nowhere to be found in Tomcat 8.
The problem does not occur using Tomcat 7 in which this class is present.

The stacktrace is:

| Running Grails application
| Error Server failed to start: org.apache.catalina.deploy.ContextResource (NOTE: Stack trace has been filtered. Use --verbose to see entire trace.)
