  <p>I have tried doing the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Adding "-XX:-UseSplitVerifier" JVM argument (did not work).</li>
  <li>I am using JDK7 and cannot shift to JDK6.</li>
  <li>Gone through a lot of posts regarding this on SO, but could not find anything that would remove this error, in my case.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My class looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
  @PrepareForTest({SecureTokenFactory.class})
  @PowerMockIgnore({"javax.net.ssl.*","javax.management.*"})
  public class ServiceInvokerTest {
  ...
