Yes, I think it should return static methods as well, similar to how it works for classes. >If yes, should it recursively find static methods defined in interfaces?

For classes, this approach returns all static methods up to Object.class, with one exception - when a subclass "overrides" a static method from a parent class. Interfaces should follow a similar logic. - In case of a clash with a class method, the class version should take precedence. (Is it better for compatibility?) - If the same method appears in multiple interfaces within the same hierarchy, the version from the most specific sub-interface should be selected. - If the method appears in interfaces from different hierarchies, either version can be returned. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/23443#discussion_r2024031331
