Difference between NoSuchMethodException and NoSuchMethodError in Java

Question

Answer 1

NoSuchMethodException can be thrown when you're invoking a method through reflection, and the name of the method comes from a variable in your program.

NoSuchMethodError can be thrown when a compiled Java class does a regular method call to another class and the method doesn't exist. (This usually happens when the caller class was compiled against one version of the class being called, and is being executed together with another version of that class, which no longer has the method.)
