FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux grzpab-X550LC 3.13.0-35-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 15 01:58:42 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If we have a generic interface and we use reflection on the parameterized type (I used Type.class.getSimpleName() ), the compiler will throw an exception. I bet it has something to do with the new functionality (default methods in interfaces) added in Java 8 (I wish I had more time to verify it, but it is 5 AM when I am writing this report).
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u20
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a generic interface
2. The parameterized type should extend an interface
3. Create a default method
4. In the method, write a code using reflection on the parameterized type
5. Compile the code
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I was trying to achieve C++ behaviour - I thought I could get class information since the generic interface would be truly instantiated when declaring the exact type parameter - but my piece of code should not compile.
ACTUAL -
Included in the 'Error Message(s)' part.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_20). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
interface AnInterface extends java.io.Serializable { }
interface GenericInterface<SomeClass extends AnInterface>
{
default someMethod() { System.out.println(SomeClass.class.getSimpleName()); }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I believe the code should not compile - the only solution would be not to use reflection inside a generic interface (I would say it happens since Java does not support reification - type arguments are erased upon compilation - we have a java.lang.Object instance). We could either used the methods of the ParametrizedType class or refactor the code (the second option is easier).
