Description
JDK-8185582 added lambdas and method references to code that is run early during startup on any startup test that loads classes and/or resources from a jar.
Comments
Ah, these need to be instances of static nested classes, not anonymous inner classes. Since the latter unconditionally hold a reference to the enclosing instance -- unlike lambdas -- they'll disrupt tests for things like reference processing and finalization.
