JSR352 / JBERET - incompatible InnerClasses attribute between “javax.el.BeanELResolver$1” and “java x.el.BeanELResolver”

Question

I have a JSR325 (Chunk processing) based java batch program and trying to run in Java SE mode using JBERET implementation. I am following the approach mentioned in this this http://www.mastertheboss.com/javaee/batch-api/running-batch-jobs-in-j2se-applications

The java batch program in Java SE mode runs fine from Eclipse but, when packaged as a Jar and run from command prompt, am getting the following exception.

What could be the problem ?

Answer 1

I think the problem lies in some discrepency in dependencies. Here is a detailed discussion on this error in general:

What causes java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError?
