Answer 1

There have been previous reports of the same error, on Junit tests and similar..

For them, adding the JVM arg -XX:-UseSplitVerifier seemed to work

Have a look at this article

Answer 2

You can also do this config : Add -noverify in your jvg args

For ant config you can do : <jvmarg value="-noverify"/>

You can follow the link for more details on why we need to do this.
