Java7 ClassFormatError: Illegal local variable table length while creating the object

Question

I am getting this strange error while executing the following code.

EncoderRequest encoderRequest = new EncoderRequest(sid,appTxnId,pfid,transactionType,\"\"         


        

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
