Please, review the following patch: Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8031195 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8031195/webrev.04
With JDK8 it became possible to have methods with implementation in interfaces - static and default interface methods. However the JDI and JDWP were not updated to reflect these capabilities so it is not currently possible to invoke a static or default interface method programatically from the debugger.
This patch adds support for static and default interface methods to JDI, JDWP and JDB.
Thanks, -JB-
