Original Title
Updata jodd to newer version (3.6.6) for Java 8 support

Original Description
The current version of jodd (3.4.8) used in liferay does not support classes compiled with java 8.

The following exception is thrown in my environment (with ext environment). New versions (e.g. 3.6.6) support java 8 classes.
