Exception: max stack exceeded

[ourip]

I get the following exception which I could not locate any information about on the internet:

Exception in thread "Thread-140" java.lang.VerifyError: max stack exceeded (class: aspects/MSDCoordinatorAspect method: <clinit>()V) at pc: 3
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.verifyImpl(Native Method)
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.verify(J9VMInternals.java: 59)
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.j ava:120)
at seller.BuyerProxy.run(BuyerProxy.java:77)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:797)

BuyerProxy implements Runnable and I run it in a new thread:

Thread t = new Thread(proxy);
t.start();

when I wrote BuyerProxy as extending Thread and used the line:
proxy.start();
to run it, everything worked well. but I need it to run several times so I had to switch to the Runnable approach. (the exception happens on the first time it runs and it runs alone when it happens)

I don't know if the following is relevant but the mentioned class: aspects/MSDCoordinatorAspect is an aspect written in AspectJ.

Appreciate any help or hints,
thanks, Ouri.

If anyone ever gets this error (which I doubt), what you should do is simply clean and rebuild your project.
This is what solved the problem for me.

Qurip, I want to thank you for posting your solution and concern for others with the same issue. I truly appreciate it. If more members with problems posted their updated solution to assist others, the forums would be a better and more efficient space.

Thank you.

"max stack exceeded" might also show you that you have a recursive algorithm problem.

max stack may occur due to to excessive recursion and i highly doubt that it has to do any thing with the thread and runnable approach because both uses the same technology for threading
