我得到这个错误是因为我有一个抽象基类，它承诺实现某个接口，但我忘记了添加接口方法的实现，然后我创建了一个非抽象(具体)字节码生成的类，它扩展了抽象类，也没有提供这些方法的实现。

当我尝试创建字节码生成类的实例时，JVM抱怨java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError。

幸运的是，该异常有一个“message”成员，它提供了关于出错原因的更详细信息。在我的例子中，消息清楚地说，特定的类应该实现特定的接口，但它实际上并没有实现它。

由于某种原因，当使用JNI并在调用Call*Method()时传递jclass参数而不是jobject时，也会抛出相同的异常。

这与《食人魔诗篇》第33篇中的回答相似。

void example(JNIEnv *env, jobject inJavaList) {
    jclass class_List = env->FindClass("java/util/List");

    jmethodID method_size = env->GetMethodID(class_List, "size", "()I");
    long size = env->CallIntMethod(class_List, method_size); // should be passing 'inJavaList' instead of 'class_List'

    std::cout << "LIST SIZE " << size << std::endl;
}

我知道在被问到这个问题5年后再回答这个问题有点晚了，但这是搜索java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError时最热门的问题之一，所以我想记录这个特殊情况。

如果这是此错误可能发生的记录，则:

我刚刚在WAS(8.5.0.1)上得到了这个错误，在CXF(2.6.0)加载spring (3.1.1_release)配置期间，BeanInstantiationException卷起一个CXF ExtensionException，卷起一个IncompatibleClassChangeError。下面的代码片段显示了堆栈跟踪的要点:

在这种情况下，解决方案是改变war文件中模块的类路径顺序。也就是说，在WAS控制台中打开战争应用程序，并选择客户端模块。在模块配置中，将类加载设置为“parent last”。

在WAS控制台中可以找到:

应用程序->应用程序类型-> WebSphere企业应用程序 单击代表应用程序的链接(war) 点击“模块”区域下的“模块管理” 单击底层模块的链接 将“类装入器顺序”更改为“(父类最后)”。

我在与玻璃鱼的战争中反复部署时遇到过这个问题。我的班级结构是这样的，

public interface A{
}

public class AImpl implements A{
}

它被改成了

public abstract class A{
}

public class AImpl extends A{
}

在停止并重新启动域之后，结果很好。 我用的是glassfish 3.1.43

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。

I have a web application that deploys perfectly fine on my local machine's tomcat(8.0.20). However, when I put it into the qa environment (tomcat - 8.0.20), it kept on giving me the IncompatibleClassChangeError and it was complaining that I was extending on an interface. This interface was changed to an abstract class. And I compiled the parent and child classes and still I kept on getting the same issue. Finally, I wanted to debug, so, I changed the version on the parent to x.0.1-SNAPSHOT and then compiled everything and now it is working. If someone is still hitting the problem after following the answers given here, please make sure the versions in your pom.xml are also correct. Change the versions to see if that works. If so, then fix the version problem.
