JDK-6389414 - ExecutableType.asElement should return null
Description
failing tests: apt/regression/6401087
asElement() called on a TypeMirror representing a constructor returns null. This can lead to unexpected null pointer errors. It should return the appropriate element type.
Comments
EVALUATION The documentation needs to be updated to explain that ExecutableTypes don't have corresponding Elements. Need to decide if we should return null, throw exception, or what.
