SQE is OK with fixing this in JDK8, fix is needed to comply with the spec.

Justification: This is a bug in the default method handling needed to match the updated specification and correctly handle static methods in interfaces. Risk is low, this is an error handling condition that javac should not be generating. We have specific sqe tests to test the failure condition, and I have run jck.vm, jck.lang, jtreg java.util, java.lang, lambda, langtools lambda, vm nsk quick, vm nsk mlvm and the vm defmeth tests

SQE DefMethTest StaticMethodsTest.testOverrideDefault and testInvokeIntf were both changed to match the specfication to expect ICCE.

11/14/15: Specification will be updated - interface method resolution should SKIP static methods in java.lang.Object, but not in the interfacemethodref itself. JDK-8028741. Karen has a prototype fix without the spec modification that might be worth starting with.

Also check StaticMethodsTest.testOverrideDefault

NSME is a subclass of ICCE. Does the spec accept a subclass of ICCE? Check: java.lang.Object static?
