Same issue happens to newer JVisualVM, Version: 1.3.9 (Build 161004); platform 20161002-268c3bcd7a42

Caused by an incompatible change in Java. We're working on resolving it somehow. The only workaround so far is to use JDK 8u112 or older.

Same with 1.8.0_144.

[namnatulco]

this workaround appears to work too, at least for me (I'm also running OpenJDK 1.8.0_144)

This issue is fixed in VisualVM 1.4.

Still present in JDK 1.8.0_161 (Build 170114)

Quick fix: Append JVM parameter -Xverify:none to application

[denisab85]

Xerus2000's workaround works for me. In Eclipse, opened
Run Configurations -> Arguments tab
and added "-Xverify:none" to the "VM Arguments" text area.

@dagnelies You need to use VisualVM 1.4 or newer, not Java VisualVM from JDK 1.8.0_171.

[nageshgnn]

It works for after setting the below configuration:
Run Configurations -> Arguments tab
and added "-Xverify:none" to the "VM Arguments" text area.
and am using JDK 1.8.0_144

Thanks
