             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.

* https://code.google.com/p/powermock/issues/detail?id=504

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.
