I was wondering a similar thing. It seems very heavyweight to use Java 
level reflection from inside native code to validate the native 
"handles" passed to that native code. I would have expected a way to go 
from a MethodId to the declaring class of the method, and a simple way 
to test if there is an ancestor relation between the two classes.

I find it both intriguing and worrying that ClassType.InvokeMethod 
refers to superinterfaces when prior to 8 (and this spec was not updated 
in this area) static interface methods did not exist! The main changes 
were in the definition of InterfaceType.InvokeMethod. I wonder whether 
invocation of static interface methods via ClassType.InvokeMethod is 
actually tested directly?

I realize the specs are a bit of a minefield when it comes to what is 
required by the different specs and what is implemented in hotspot. 
Unfortunately it is a minefield I also have to wade through for private 
interface methods. In many cases it is not clear what should happen and 
all we have to guide us is what hotspot does (eg "virtual" invocations 
on non-virtual methods).
