6824141: test/java/rmi/activation/rmidViaInheritedChannel tests fail
Peter - two of RMI tests have been failing since we pushed the socket-channels update back in b36 (4640544). The socket-channel updates introduced a source compatibility issue for SelectorProvider implementations. The RMI tests for the inheritedChannel method have their own delegating SelectorProvider that doesn't compile because of this. The nio/nio/jdk repository has a fix to the source compatibility issue for some time but it's not in jdk7 yet. In the mean-time we need cleaner test runs so I'd like to update these tests to add the missing method. It's harmless and will continue to work if SelectorProvider has a default implementation of this method. Andrew Hughes has also created a bugzilla entry for this issue (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/show_bug.cgi?id=100024).
