Description Srikanth Sankaran CLA 2012-06-12 07:39:46 EDT 
BETA_JAVA8

The following program triggers a message "The type X must implement the 
inherited abstract method I.foo()". This is incorrect as I.foo is not
abstract and has a default implementation.

// ----
interface I {
  void foo() default {}
}

class X implements I  {
}
