In my case, I ran into this error this way. pom.xml of my project defined two dependencies A and B. And both A and B defined dependency on same artifact (call it C) but different versions of it (C.1 and C.2). When this happens, for each class in C maven can only select one version of the class from the two versions (while building an uber-jar). It will select the "nearest" version based on its dependency mediation rules and will output a warning "We have a duplicate class..." If a method/class signature changes between the versions, it can cause a java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError exception if the incorrect version is used at runtime.

高级:如果A必须使用C的v1, B必须使用C的v2，那么我们必须在A和B的poms中重新定位C，以避免类冲突(我们有一个重复类警告)，当构建依赖于A和B的最终项目时。

请检查你的代码是否由两个具有相同类名和包定义的模块项目组成。例如，如果有人使用复制粘贴来创建基于先前实现的接口的新实现，就会发生这种情况。

I have also discovered that, when using JNI, invoking a Java method from C++, if you pass parameters to the invoked Java method in the wrong order, you will get this error when you attempt to use the parameters inside the called method (because they won't be the right type). I was initially taken aback that JNI does not do this checking for you as part of the class signature checking when you invoke the method, but I assume they don't do this kind of checking because you may be passing polymorphic parameters and they have to assume you know what you are doing.

示例c++ JNI代码:

void invokeFooDoSomething() {
    jobject javaFred = FredFactory::getFred(); // Get a Fred jobject
    jobject javaFoo = FooFactory::getFoo(); // Get a Foo jobject
    jobject javaBar = FooFactory::getBar(); // Get a Bar jobject
    jmethodID methodID = getDoSomethingMethodId() // Get the JNI Method ID


    jniEnv->CallVoidMethod(javaFoo,
                           methodID,
                           javaFred, // Woops!  I switched the Fred and Bar parameters!
                           javaBar);

    // << Insert error handling code here to discover the JNI Exception >>
    //  ... This is where the IncompatibleClassChangeError will show up.
}

Java代码示例:

class Bar { ... }

class Fred {
    public int size() { ... }
} 

class Foo {
    public void doSomething(Fred aFred, Bar anotherObject) {
        if (name.size() > 0) { // Will throw a cryptic java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError
            // Do some stuff...
        }
    }
}

在浪费了太多时间后记录下另一个场景。

确保您的依赖jar中没有包含带有EJB注释的类。

我们有一个普通的jar文件，它有一个@local注释。这个类后来从这个公共项目移到我们的主ejb jar项目中。ejb jar和公共jar都捆绑在ear中。我们的公共jar依赖项的版本没有更新。因此，两个类试图成为具有不兼容的更改的东西。

新打包的库与旧版本不向后二进制兼容(BC)。由于这个原因，一些没有重新编译的库客户端可能会抛出异常。

这是一个完整的Java库API更改列表，这些更改可能会导致使用旧版本库构建的客户端在运行新版本库时抛出Java .lang. incompatibleclasschangeerror(即破坏BC):

非终场变为静态， 非常数场变成非静态场， 类变成接口， 接口变成类， 如果你添加了一个新的字段到类/接口(或者添加了一个新的超类/超接口)，那么一个来自客户端类C的超接口的静态字段可能会隐藏一个从C的超类继承的添加的字段(具有相同的名称)(非常罕见的情况)。

注意:还有许多其他由其他不兼容的更改引起的异常:NoSuchFieldError, NoSuchMethodError, IllegalAccessError, InstantiationError, VerifyError, NoClassDefFoundError和AbstractMethodError。

关于BC更好的论文是由Jim des Rivières撰写的“进化基于java的API 2:实现API二进制兼容性”。

还有一些自动工具可以检测这些变化:

japi-compliance-checker clirr japitools sigtest japi-checker

在你的库中使用日语遵从检查器:

japi-compliance-checker OLD.jar NEW.jar

clir工具的使用:

java -jar clirr-core-0.6-uber.jar -o OLD.jar -n NEW.jar

好运！
