Description
The new default methods in JDK 8 need to be able to be invoked reflectively by

* Core reflection (java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke())
* Method handles / JSR 292 feature
Comments
I believe this works correctly today. I know of no bugs in this area.

Support for calling default methods reflectively is separate from support from *modeling* default methods in core reflection. The latter has already been provided (JDK-8005042) and refined (JDK-8010017).
