Java 6 -> 7 migration ClassFormatError: Illegal local variable table length

Question

I'm working on upgrading several programs to JDK 1.7 for the company I work for. I have run into the ClassFormatError described in

Java7 ClassFormatError: Illegal local variable table length while creating the object

and

Java 7 with emma and junit causing java.lang.VerifyError and Illegal local variable Errors

Is anyone aware of a fix other than the "-XX:-UseSplitVerifier" jvm arg?

I'm just worried about future migrations. That flag will be deprecated in Java 8 — crunk1, Feb 20 '14 at 19:58
Have you tried upgrading the API causing that error to the latest version? — elToro, Feb 20 '14 at 20:02
That seems like the best permanent solution. I was just wondering if anyone else had any other solutions — crunk1, Feb 20 '14 at 20:16

This isn't really a fix, but since Java 8 got rid of "-XX:-UseSplitVerifier" the only alternative going forward is the "-noverify" option which is also a temporary fix until libraries like AspectJ are updated accordingly.
