java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target JDK 1.7

---

After upgrading to JDK 1.7 I am getting below exception:

java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 71 in method com.abc.domain.myPackage.MyClass$JaxbAccessorM_getDescription_setDescription_java_lang_String.get(Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object; at offset 20

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 using java 1.8, remove XX:-UseSplitVerifier and use -noverify in your JVM properties.

---

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

---

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"
}

---

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.

---

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).

this link is helpful. java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame

the simplest way is changing JRE to 6.
