CLONE - Error loading dashboard plugin when running on Tomcat 8

An error has occurred, sorry for that.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The resource path [META-INF/MANIFEST.MF] is not valid
Failed to instantiate plugin class 'org.hippoecm.frontend.plugins.cms.dashboard.DashboardPerspective' for wicket id 'service.tab' in plugin 'home.cluster.cms-static.plugin.dashboardPerspective' (JcrPluginConfig:/hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-static/dashboardPerspective)

Problem: SystemInfoDataProvider loads resource as:
servletContext.getResourceAsStream("META-INF/MANIFEST.MF");
This must start with a slash
