> Key: FLINK-13647
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-13647
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0, 1.10.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.11.0
>
>
> Since Java 8, it is possible to extend interfaces by adding default methods
> and static methods. Flink's current japicmp plugin won't allow this and
> complains with a {{METHOD_ADDED_TO_INTERFACE}}.
> I think we should allow this in order to extend existing public interfaces.
> There is also a japicmp issue which addresses this problem:
> https://github.com/siom79/japicmp/issues/201.
