Java 7 introduced stricter verification and changed the class format a bit—to contain a stack map used to verify that code is correct. The exception you see means that some method doesn't have a valid stack map.

Java version or bytecode instrumentation could both be to blame. Usually this means that a library used by the application generates invalid bytecode that doesn't pass the stricter verification. So nothing else than reporting it as a bug to the library can be done by the developer.

As a workaround you can add -noverify to the JVM arguments in order to disable verification. In Java 7 it was also possible to use -XX:-UseSplitVerifier to use the less strict verification method, but that option was removed in Java 8.

If you are building the code yourself  then this issue could be overcome by giving  -target 1 5  to the java compiler  or by setting the corresponding option in your IDE or your build config

I ran into this problem and try using the flag -noverify which really works  It is because of the new bytecode verifier  So the flag should really work  I am using JDK 1 7    Note  This would not work if you are using JDK 1 8

The only difference between files that causing the issue is the 8th byte of file  CA FE BA BE 00 00 00 33 - Java 7  vs   CA FE BA BE 00 00 00 32 - Java 6  Setting -XX -UseSplitVerifier resolves the issue  However  the cause of this issue is https   bugs eclipse org bugs show bug cgi id 339388

Sorry for digging  but I met the same problem and found the simplier solution   In Java compiler options you need to uncheck  Preserve unused  never read  local variables  so there is no need to change back target JVM version    It seems to be a bug in an older Eclipe versions

Pass -noverify JVM argument to your test task  If you are using gradle  in the build gradle you can have something like   test     jvmArgs  -noverify

This ERROR can happen when you use Mockito to mock final classes   Consider using Mockito inline or Powermock instead

User · Answer

If you are using java 1 8  remove XX -UseSplitVerifier and use -noverify in your JVM properties
