Your classfile is truncated. Restore from a backup, redownload(if downloaded), or recompile. — nanofarad, Aug 15 '13 at 12:42
If you have a horrible or auto generated class, eclipse has a limit to how much code can be in a method. See the last answer from this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5497495/maximum-size-of-java-class-exception-table — Augusto, Aug 15 '13 at 12:45
Your question is lacking informations. Just a stack isn't quite helpful to understand the question. — Jonathan Drapeau, Aug 15 '13 at 12:59

Please, update your question with relevant parts of your pom file and the goal that you are trying to call. — Anthony Accioly, Aug 15 '13 at 14:07
I faced this issue and realized that i was pushing the class file over to a remote server using winscp and the transfer mode was selected as "text"...Restored the mode to "Default" and the error went away... — Allzhere, Oct 24 '14 at 06:06

Clean your maven repository:

(By default in your user folder)

~/.m2/repository

Then perform a clean install so it download the dependencies again and recompile your entire project:

mvn clean install

ClassFormatError: Truncated class file

means that one of the class file is corrupted. Try to run clean goal to do the bad classes cleanup before you run the install target. Or simply combine both the targets and do mvn clean install for your project.

I can see from your stac-trace that you are using reflection. Is the class working when you use it normally? Is it possible that when you use reflection, the class is unreachable or mis-used?

After all the research and changing things, i found the solution, I updated Maven dependency,it doesn't work,

I uninstall tomcat and Java and then reinstall it.

And the error is that Java Jdk is corrupted due to some reason i Dont Know it why.....

and thanks all for your suggestions
