How do I get unit test to run in java 7: java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target

Question

Hi I am running a maven test using maven 3.0.3 with hibernate 4.0.0 Final release and spring 3.1 on jdk7 update 2.

I get the following error.

Caused by: java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 63 in method ${myDomainClass}.equals(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z at offset 24

My Equals method is using EqualsBuilder from commons-lang 2.6. I set the following maven opts

SET MAVEN_OPTS=%MAVEN_OPTS% -XX:-UseSplitVerifier

after reading this Java 7 JVM verifyError

Note: My test works under jdk 1.6 update 29.

How do I fix this? It seems setting -XX:-UseSplitVerifier still causes the error.

Answer 1

According to surefire plugin documentation MAVEN_OPTS are not inherited by a spawned JVM, so you need to specify argLine config parameter with -XX:-UseSplitVerifier in maven-surefire-plugin configuration element.
