I don't know about Tomcat 8, but I actually resolved my very similar error and got Webgoat to build with Maven and Tomcat 7.

Webgoat's documentation is not very centralized across versions, so I was confused for a bit, but I found 

mvn clean tomcat7:run-war

at this link https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat-Legacy/wiki/Installation-(WebGoat-6.0) under the Source Distribution section.

I imagine it might be worth trying with tomcat8 instead just for giggles.

Hope it helps.

I had the same problem when running with...

mvn tomcat:run-war

But it didn't occur when running via

java -jar target/webgoat-container-6.1.0-war-exec.jar

That worked, so I stopped trying to figure out what went wrong with mvn.
