Agreed; I've posted a BlenderRev corresponding to the current patch at:

This looks good to me but I agree with David that it's probably important to
look at the generated javadoc and specdiff output before finalizing.

Thanks for the careful review; the @throws information still needs its own

Please code review my JDK 8 changes for
7007535: (reflect) Please generalize Constructor and Method
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/7007535.3
To summarize the changes, a new superclass is defined to capture the common
functionality of java.lang.reflect.Method and java.lang.reflect.Constructor.
That superclass is named "Executable" along the lines of
javax.lang.model.ExecutableElement, which models constructors and methods in
the JSR 269 language model.
Both specification and implementation code are shared. To preserve the right
@since behavior, it is common that in Method/Constructor the javadoc for a
method will now look like:
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
* @since 1.5
*/
Unless they have fixed/changed javadoc (entirely possible) it used to be that
the above would not cause @throws declarations for unchecked exceptions to be
inherited - you have/had to explicitly repeat them as:
@throws <exception-type> {@inheritDoc}
Yes, that would seem to be needed for some of the inherited getters of generics
info, which specify unchecked exception types.
Since Executable is being created in JDK 8, it would be incorrect for
methods in that class to have an @since of 1.5; adding the @since in
Method/Constructor preserves the right information.
In Executable.java, getAnnotation and getDeclaredAnnotations do have "@since
1.5"-- oversight?
Yes; that was incorrect.
In Constructor.java and Method.java, getExceptionTypes has "@since 1.5", but
that method has existed in those classes since 1.1.
Fixed.
In Executable.java:
216 /**
217 * Returns an array of {@code Class} objects that represent the formal
218 * parameter types, in declaration order, of the method
219 * represented by this {@code Method} object. Returns an array of
length
220 * 0 if the underlying method takes no parameters.
221 *
222 * @return the parameter types for the method this object
223 * represents
At least "{@code Method}" needs to be generalized, and perhaps all occurrences of
"method"?
Corrected.
