Getting error “Illegal local variable table length 5 in method” while running Junit using Java version 7

I was facing a strange issue while running Junit test cases using Java 1.7 + ant.

I debug a lot but not able to find a solution using ant+ junit.

I came to know that in maven issue has been fixed using (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7010665/testng-emma-cobertura-coverage-and-jdk-7-result-in-classformaterror-and-verif)

I made changes to my Junit target and added in jvm args "-XX:-UseSplitVerifier

 I was able to get rid of the problem.

Issue was mainly due to Java Byte code.
