JDK 8 (initial) RFR for JDK-8005294 : Consider default methods for additions to AnnotatedElement

[Peter Levart]

Hi Joe,

So, the order must be respected, right.

There's a bug. I think you wanted to call:

((Class) this).getSuperclass()

Instead of:

thisClass.getSuperclass()

...which would always return Object.class...

Regards, Peter
