Its not recommended to compile classes under this JCR branch. In AEM, you typically compile classes as part of deploying OSGi bundles. Are you following some Knowledge base article that is instructing you to compile these classes?

Java 8 is only supported with AEM 6 SP1.

For previous AEM versions - Java 8 is not supported.

Instead of trying to recompile AEM classes - its recommended to install AEM on supported platforms.

no, 

the problem is that i installed AEM using Java 8, and now event restarting with Java 7 sometimes some scripts have problems using the cmpiled classes . 

i reloaded all Scripting bndles in felix (to reload), but still having problem in specific files. last probem i had was with scripts for MSM. 

thats why i would like to recompile all again.

Let me look into this issue - i doubt the recommended action is to recompile the classes.
