Liferay 6.2 failed on startup with 500 error

Question

I'm starting a new and freshly downloaded Liferay 6.2 tomcat bundle, but this exception occured:

Note that I keep the default configuration and I'm using Liferay 6.2 CE GA3 and Java 1.8.0_251.

Could provide me some helping path?

Thanks

Installing JDK 8u251 resolved the problem.
