Also, docs are not normally updated in Update releases. If you need
this updated doc pushed to the web, then you'll need to contact the
docs folks.

I didn't realize the CCC was necessary when fixing obviously incorrect
doc. Sorry :(
I will ask for CCC review ASAP.

Jaroslav,
Even though a seemingly trivial correction this needs a CCC request.

Please, review this simple doc change.
Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8040167
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8040167/webrev.00/
Currently, the generated JDWP documentation falsely states that the
InvokeMethod command
"Invokes a static method. The method must be member of the class
type or
one of its superclasses,
*superinterfaces*, or implemented interfaces."
Up till JDK8 this was almost non-problem since interfaces could not
specify static methods. For JDK8 this brings in ambiguity and
contradicts JLS.
The JDI docs
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/jdk/api/jpda/jdi/com/sun/jdi/ClassType.html#invokeMethod-com.sun.jdi.ThreadReference-com.sun.jdi.Method-java.util.List-int-)
state correctly that the InvokeMethod can be uses only on static
methods
from the class or its superclasses (no mention of interface) -
following
the JLS
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.4.8)
rules.
The fix is to change the line to read
"Invokes a static method. The method must be member of the class
type or
one of its superclasses." instead.
Thanks,
