  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My Equals method is using EqualsBuilder from commons-lang 2.6. 
  I set the following maven opts </p>
  
  <pre><code>SET MAVEN_OPTS=%MAVEN_OPTS% -XX:-UseSplitVerifier
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after reading this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7970622/java-7-jvm-verifyerror-in-eclipse">Java 7 JVM verifyError</a></p>
  
  <p>Note: My test works under jdk 1.6 update 29. </p>
  
  <p>How do I fix this? It seems setting -XX:-UseSplitVerifier still causes the error. </p>
