A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Hi,
  To start with, I am not sure if this is the correct place to report bugs for java 8, nor which package this bug is in, but I will leave the precise assignment and classification to whoever knows better.

The problem is that when doing a multi-catch inside a lambda expression, it seems to be converted to a normal single-catch that catches the common superclass of the given exception types. This means that, for example, any kind of RuntimeException will be caught, instead of just the ones that are mentioned in the catch clause.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
public class TestMultiCatch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable lambda1 = () -> {
try {
throw new ClassCastException(); // Can also be RuntimeException or any other subclass of it
} catch (EnumConstantNotPresentException | ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) { // Some arbitrary Exceptions
System.out.println( " multi-catch: " + ex);
}
};
lambda1.run(); // This (erroneously?) prints " multi-catch: java.lang.RuntimeException "

Runnable lambda2 = () -> {
try {
throw new ClassCastException();
} catch (EnumConstantNotPresentException ex) {
System.out.println( " catch 1: " + ex);
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) {
System.out.println( " catch 2: " + ex);
}
};
lambda2.run(); // This throws a ClassCastException, like it should
}
}


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Exception in thread " main " java.lang.ClassCastException
at TestMultiCatch.lambda$0(TestMultiCatch.java:5)
at TestMultiCatch$$Lambda$1.run(Unknown Source)
at TestMultiCatch.main(TestMultiCatch.java:10)
Java Result: 1
ACTUAL -
multi-catch: java.lang.ClassCastException
Exception in thread " main " java.lang.ClassCastException
at TestMultiCatch.lambda$1(TestMultiCatch.java:14)
at TestMultiCatch$$Lambda$2.run(Unknown Source)
at TestMultiCatch.main(TestMultiCatch.java:21)
Java Result: 1

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Can be worked around by not using multi-catch but stating each catch clause separately.
