Java SE 8 Maintenance Review: Additional changes

[Iris Clark]

Hi.

I will be asking jcp.org to post an update to the JSR 337 Maintenance Draft
Review contents [0,1] to cover the addition of the following critical updates:

  - Verification of a failed invokespecial call outside an <init> method
    should be corrected

  - Verification of a failed invokespecial call inside an <init> method should
    be corrected

As a reminder, the Review for JSR 337 ends on 2 February with the Ballot
running from 3-9 February.  Assuming that the Maintenance Review Ballot
succeeds, Oracle will produce a Maintenance Release [2] of JSR 337 which
includes an updated Specification, RI, and TCK, expected March 2015.

Thanks,
iris
