[PATCH] 8188240: Reflection Proxy should skip static methods

[Peter Levart]

Hi Aleksey,

In test, the following comment:

   26  * @summary This is a test to ensure that proxies do not inherit 
static methods.

I think the word "inherit" is not correct here. Interface static methods 
can not be inherited. VM already ensures that. Perhaps the comment 
should be:

     "This is a test to ensure that proxies do not try to override 
interface static methods."

Nothing can actually override an interface static method even if it 
tries to (in the sense class static methods may be overridden). So I 
think this test checks that proxy class doesn't try to do this, right?

Regards, Peter
