Getting "Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target" when running Maven integration testing
I’m using Maven 3.2.3 with this version of Java
davea$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
When I run
mvn clean install
I get errors like the below in my integration tests …

Any ideas how to prevent these bizarre “Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target” errors I’m seeing?
Edit:
I'm using these dependnecies (as speculated by the comments that these were problems):
[INFO] +- org.springframework:spring-aop:jar:3.2.11.RELEASE:compile
...
[INFO] +- org.aspectj:aspectjweaver:jar:1.8.6:compile
[INFO] +- org.aspectj:aspectjrt:jar:1.8.6:compile
Answer
I had this same problem when I moved to JDK 8. Code built fine, just got these errors when running the unit tests. I see you are using -XX:-UseSplitVerifier, which didn't work for me either. I had found a short blurb somewhere that instead of using -XX:-UseSplitVerifier with JDK 8, I should use -noverify. I gave it a try and it worked for me.
Hope this helps.
