Re: Java 8 question about default and static methods in interfaces

The question is, can Foo.method be used from Bar.method?
In other words, is the following version of Bar legal?
public interface Bar extends Foo {
default void method () {
super.method();
System.out.println("Bar.method");
}
}
Well - the following compiles and run with Java 8 EA something:
public class DefMet {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Bar o = new C();
o.method();
}
}
class C implements Bar {
}
interface Foo {
default void method () {
System.out.println("Foo.method");
}
}
interface Bar extends Foo {
default void method () {
Foo.super.method();
System.out.println("Bar.method");
}
}
Note the use of Foo.super instead of just super.
