This bug affects the behavior of method: `java.lang.reflect.Executable::getAnnotatedExceptionTypes` which is not behaving according to its specification. Given that this fix affects the behavior of a method belonging to our API a CSR has been filed too. Please review it at [JDK-8278926](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8278926).
