LoadUI fails to invoke SoapUI Script with Apache POI jars

Hi ,

I have a SoapUI script where and reading an excel file and using its data for several activities, which works absolutely fine without any issues.

Now i want to invoke the same script with LoadUI, while doing so am unable to to do so, as i get the java.lang.VerifyError with a WorkbookFactory.create() method used in my code.

I tried placing the required updated jars inext folder of loadUI, but nothing works out, please suggest me a solution for this issue.

Below is the snippet of the error code:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: org/apache/poi/openxml4j/opc/OPCPackage, method: create signature: (Ljava/io/File;)Lorg/apache/poi/openxml4j/opc/OPCPackage;) Incompatible type for getting or setting field
