Hi Jan, I ran master + PR-331 + PR-336 through a quick spin. I successfully did a small refactoring (method rename) in the JNA codebase (the same as the one that resulted in exceptions in the previous spin).
All runs works without exceptions (the JDK8 without nb-javac did not offer refactoring of course). Thank you! Happy holidays all around.
