I did a search and found QuickTip: VerifyError with jdk 7:
If you are struggling with the following kind of error
java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 6 bla bla bla …then a simple solution is to add the following default JVM argument
-XX:-UseSplitVerifierIf you are doing it in eclipse, like i was, then goto Window -> Preferences -> Installed JREs -> and add the default parameter.
What does this setting do? Oracle just mentions that it a new type checker with StackMapTable attributes. Huh! Enjoy! It is Oracle now.
However, when I go to the Installed JREs settings it says An error has occurred when creating this preference page
I started learning about Google App Engine and began with Google’s CodeLabEx0, and I think it worked out fine because I saw on my browser what I was supposed to see. But when I moved on to the second chapter CodeLabEx1, there’s an error that won’t allow me to create any products or items through the browser interface. Then I looked at the eclipse console and saw this:

I have no idea what this could be. This is a fresh install of Eclipse 3.7 with the following installed software:
- Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
- Google App Engine Java SDK 1.5.5
- Gooogle Plugin for Eclipse 3.7
- Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.4.0
I’m on Windows 7 64-bit with Java version 1.7.0
Ok, I found the solution. It’s what I wrote at the very top. Turns out I was adding the argument to the wrong eclipse installation. It works now.
“If you are struggling with the following kind of error
