What are the reasons behind it and its solutions

The two classes come from different classloaders. One is probably from OSGi, the other from the classloader of your app or your app container.

Try to print the values of IFragment.class.getClassLoader() and RunFragment.class.getClassLoader() to see if they are the same. If not, clean up your classloaders :-)
