JDK-8299416 - javac complains about "local variables referenced from an inner class must be final or effectively final" although variable is only assigned once
Description
Effectively final handling was changed to be closer to the wording of the JLS under JDK-8294461. However, this lead to JDK-8299416, and it turns out the effectively handling needs more complex consideration, including the specification.

Therefore, the proposal is to revert JDK-8294461, and reconsider the effectively final handling in a future release, making adjustments as needed.
