-----------------------------------------
Summary: Sqoop2: Test classes using powermock fails badly when
compiling with java target version 1.7
Key: SQOOP-2120
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2120
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.99.5
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Fix For: 1.99.6
I've tried to change bytecode target version to 1.7 and found out that test
classes using Powermock are failing quite badly with JDK error:
{code}
Bad <init> method call from inside of a branch
{code}
Doing a bit of googling turned out that this is a known problem where powermock
is doing something fancy that is no longer supported in JDK7.

Recommendation on those sites is to either use {{-noverify}} JVM flag or force
usage of the old verifier by specifying {{-XX:-UseSplitVerifier}}. I feel that
the later is a better option, so I would propose to do that.
