VirtualBox Java API 7.1.6 - IllegalArgumentException (Code length outside allowed range)

[Pertir]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to use the latest VirtualBox Java API (7.1.6) on Java 11, but I keep running into this error:

Code: Select all

Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Code length 74133 is outside the allowed range in <clinit>()void
	at java.base/jdk.internal.classfile.impl.DirectCodeBuilder$4.writeBody(DirectCodeBuilder.java:361)

It looks like something in the API has a method that exceeds the allowed bytecode size. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known workaround (maybe a JVM flag or using a different Java version) or I am not using the API correctly?

It fails when calling the connect method, like in the following example:

Code: Select all

VirtualBoxManager.createInstance(null).connect(...)

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
