Hi there, I've attached a patch to address JDK-8030123. This is the bug where one of the existing beans tests succeeds on Windows, but fails on Ubuntu/Debian Linux.
The approach here is to change the merging code in the IndexedPropertyDescriptor(PD, PD) constructor to be similar to the same code in the PropertyDescriptor(PD, PD) class. In particular, use the isAssignable() method in PropertyDescriptor to determine which method object should be used in the final merge. I've regression tested against the existing beans tests, on Windows and Debian, and confirm the patch fixes the regression on Debian, while continuing to work correctly on Windows. Hopefully this is useful, or at least a good starting point. Regards, Nicholas.
