java.lang.ClassFormatError

HI,
I have a project written in java springs. When i run the file containing the main method  i am getting the following error :
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.ClassFormatError: javax/mail/MessagingException : Missing Code attribute
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)


-----------File----------------------
package com.yatra.extremesearch.app;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;



public class ExtremeSearchApp {
      private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ExtremeSearchApp.class);
      
      public static void main(String args[]){
            
             try {
                   logger.info("=====Starting Extreme search======");
                   new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:spring/root-context.xml");
                  
                  } catch (Exception e) {
                        logger.error(e.getMessage());
                  }
            }
}

Unable to find out the reason for it.

Thanks
