java - Why am I getting the following error when running Google App from eclipse?

Question

I did a search and found QuickTip: VerifyError with jdk 7:

If you are struggling with the following kind of error

java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 6 bla bla bla …

then a simple solution is to add the following default JVM argument -XX:-UseSplitVerifier

If you are doing it in eclipse, like i was, then goto Window -> Preferences -> Installed JREs -> and add the default parameter.

What does this setting do? Oracle just mentions that it a new type checker with StackMapTable attributes. Huh! Enjoy! It is Oracle now.

However, when I go to the Installed JREs settings it says An error has occurred when creating this preference page

I started learning about Google App Engine and began with Google's CodeLabEx0, and I think it worked out fine because I saw on my browser what I was supposed to see. But when I moved on to the second chapter CodeLabEx1, there's an error that won't allow me to create any products or items through the browser interface. Then I looked at the eclipse console and saw this:

I have no idea what this could be. This is a fresh install of Eclipse 3.7 with the following installed software:

• Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
• Google App Engine Java SDK 1.5.5
• Gooogle Plugin for Eclipse 3.7
• Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.4.0

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit with Java version 1.7.0
