RFR (S) JDK-8026394: Eclipse fails with JDK8 build 111

[Karen Kinnear]

Lois,

Fix looks good.

I'm not sure what this sentence is there for -
"If a direct interface of a class does not contain "clone" or "finalize" the methods would be found in the interface's super class, java.lang.Object" 
does the "of a class" refer to the objectref for method selection?

Thank you for the test.

thanks,
Karen
