A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a system that heavily depends on the serialization of Lamdas. I regularly had issues with the Lambda-Notation of the form variable::method, but () -> variable.method() worked find. So I had a workaround :-) Now I have analyzed the reason for this and found https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8154236. This is exactly my case. Its an old and best known case: Please fix it. Thank you very much!


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8154236.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should not cause an exception during DeSerialization
ACTUAL -
Exception in Deserializing
