That's not a bug in the JDK! And because NetBeans has a few modules that cannot be compiled with the --release option it had to be worked around in the same way as that Felix issue mentions, and in the same way that you're going to have to to use SpecificationVersion - rewrite the code to force linking to the older method. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3418 https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3418/files#diff-ae54621e96abcfef845cb4515104dfbe12475df886225a772e53455b32d1f8f0R517 > sigtest failed, and it was fixed by modifying sigtest. Depends why sigtest fails. In this case, because it doesn't list bridge methods. Imagine the new method had been added explicitly with the old one. Sigtest would be fine.

I can't see any way that makes the situation any different.
