Description

With Java 8 the verifier fails to validate interfaces containing default methods. For example with the Collection interface it returns this error:

Interface method 'public boolean removeIf(java.util.function.Predicate arg1) [Signature((Ljava/util/function/Predicate<-TE;>;)Z)]' must have the ACC_STATIC modifier set but hasn't!
