RFR: 8009411 : getMethods should not inherit static methods from interfaces

[Peter Levart]

Hi Joel,

The fix is ok for getMethods(), but I think the getMethod(String name, 
Class<?>... parameterTypes) should also be fixed. Currently the 
following code:

public class StaticInterfaceMethodTest {
     public interface A {
         static void m() {}
     }

     public interface B extends A {
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         B.class.getMethod("m");
     }
}


...succeeds, but should throw NoSuchMethodException, I think.


Regards, Peter

This fix filters out static interface methods from superinterfaces when adding methods. I have also added a note to the javadoc for both getMembers and getDeclaredMembers pointing this out (though it is implied from JLS). Webrev is based on the clarification to getMethods and friends out for review on this list.
