I think the type of interop that you attempting to test here is more
appropriate for other test suites.

For the jdk repo, then I think it should be fine to check in the bytes
streams (in source rather than binary format) and just check that they
can be de-serialized in jdk8 (you can go the other way too by testing
the serialized stream that jdk8 generated).
