Jaroslav, Even though a seemingly trivial correction this needs a CCC request.

Please, review this simple doc change. Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8040167 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8040167/webrev.00/ Currently, the generated JDWP documentation falsely states that the InvokeMethod command "Invokes a static method. The method must be member of the class type or one of its superclasses, *superinterfaces*, or implemented interfaces." Up till JDK8 this was almost non-problem since interfaces could not specify static methods. For JDK8 this brings in ambiguity and contradicts JLS. The JDI docs (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/jdk/api/jpda/jdi/com/sun/jdi/ClassType.html#invokeMethod-com.sun.jdi.ThreadReference-com.sun.jdi.Method-java.util.List-int-) state correctly that the InvokeMethod can be uses only on static methods from the class or its superclasses (no mention of interface) - following the JLS (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.4.8) rules. The fix is to change the line to read "Invokes a static method. The method must be member of the class type or one of its superclasses." instead. Thanks, -JB-
