Hello.
In langtools, our policy is *not* to have explicit -source or -target
flags in the regression tests unless a non-default older source/target
is needed. Unnecessary options have been removed from both langtools
and jdk. [1] [2]
So, I recommend the compile line for this test just be
@compile InvokeGenericTest.java

John,
This test fails in the jdk8/tl because javac now defaults to
source/target 8 and the test specifies -target 7 without specifying
the source. This means we can run the java/lang/** tests without
getting at least one failure. Any objection if I add -source 7 to the
compile tag? I assume at some point these tests will move to
source/target 8.
