For a project like Apache Commons Pool, updating the plugin dependencies to Apache Commons BCEL 6.2 fixes this. This is what Commons Pool and Commons Parent will do in their next releases:

      <pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <!--  Fixes org.apache.bcel.classfile.ClassFormatException: Invalid byte tag in constant pool: 19 -->
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${commons.project-info.version}</version>
            <dependencies>
              <dependency>
                <groupId>org.apache.bcel</groupId>
                <artifactId>bcel</artifactId>
                <version>6.2</version>
              </dependency>
            </dependencies>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </pluginManagement>
