This is the wrong mailing list, the right one is mlvm

This class disappears in latest update.
The spec was updated to allow to specify a boostrap method for each 
invokedynamic.

Anyway, I think I don't really understand what you want to do with your 
Runnable.
The boostrap method must return a CallSite and Runnable.run() return void.

If there is a way to express constant method handles in Java, you also 
have the these two properties.
We're working on that !
