Precision for JDK-8060012 Class.isAnonymousClass() returns false when class major number is 48.

[Joe Darcy]

Hello,

I don't know if IBM's implementation uses any VM hooks not found in 
OpenJDK. If their JDK only uses common reflection machinery, a patch for 
this functionality for OpenJDK would be welcome for evaluation.

Cheers,
