<Beans Dev> [PATCH] JDK-8030123: java/beans/Introspector/Test8027648.java fails

[Nicholas Cull]

Hi there,

I've attached a patch to address JDK-8030123. This is the bug where one of
the existing beans tests succeeds on Windows, but fails on Ubuntu/Debian
Linux.

The approach here is to change the merging code in the
IndexedPropertyDescriptor(PD, PD) constructor to be similar to the same
code in the PropertyDescriptor(PD, PD) class. In particular, use the
isAssignable() method in PropertyDescriptor to determine which method
object should be used in the final merge.

I've regression tested against the existing beans tests, on Windows and
Debian, and confirm the patch fixes the regression on Debian, while
continuing to work correctly on Windows.

Hopefully this is useful, or at least a good starting point.

Regards,

Nicholas.
