[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR 8031059 - invokestatic: ICCE trying to invoke static method when it clashes with an abstract method inherited from an interface

[Seán Coffey]

Harold,

as per communication [1], I'm planning to sync the jdk8 master forest 
with the jdk8u-dev forest regularly until JDK 8 is released. I'm hoping 
to do my first sync before the week is over. If this works for you, then 
you don't need to take any action. If you need the fix in 8u today, 
consider this request approved and push to jdk8u/hs-dev

regards,
Sean.
