java.lang.NoSuchMethodError when it is clearly there

Question

General Info: I am using the Bukkit/Spigot API in version git-Spigot-1d14d5f-ba32592 (MC: 1.8.3) (Implementing API version 1.8.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT), IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.3 and compile with its default compiler. The java jdk version is 1.8.0_25.

So when I try to call this class's constructor, it throws the runtime exception from the title.

As you can see the constructor is there and is to my knowledge properly called. So is this error a mistake in my project setup, an API thing, or something entirely different?

The utility classes are in a seperate module and everything works if I paste them into my test plugin module, but not inside the other module. However any other constructor in any other class inside me.lakan.util.inventory can be called normally.

Do you have different jar's at compile versus runtime? It should not compile in the first place if the constructors don't match — André Schild, Jul 18 '15 at 11:41
No. It uses the module output of the util plugin for the test plugin at compile time and puts all relevant classes into the output jar. So at runtime every class and method should be available... — redpandamonium, Jul 18 '15 at 11:47
Instead of editing the answer into the question, you should answer your own question, and then accept the answer — Jojodmo, Jul 18 '15 at 23:22
@EJP yeah, I thought the same. However I have been shifting around the project structure (especially the dependency handling) for hours and rebuilt it over and over... — redpandamonium, Jul 18 '15 at 11:58
Nothing else it can be. Remove all the artefacts of the webapp from the container and redeploy. And make sure that all the JARs you compile against *are* deployed with the webapp. — user207421, Jul 18 '15 at 12:19

The problem was in the project structure.

For the test artifact, I chose the module output of the util module. Changing it to the artifact output of the util module fixed it.

@earizon: you need to [wait two days to self-accept](http://stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer) :-( – serv-inc Jul 19 '15 at 10:07

In other words it was a case of 'make sure that all the JARs you compile against are deployed with the webapp'. – user207421 Jul 20 '15 at 01:19
