FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JLS ����15.13 says that `int[]::clone` is a valid method reference expression. However, using it causes a "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Array" error.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Yes

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the code listed in "Source code for an executable test case".

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expect the `int[]::clone` and `String[]::clone` to behave the same as `a -> a.clone()`. Instead, they throw a `NoClassDefFoundError`.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Instead of using `int[]::clone`, use `a -> a.clone()` instead.
