FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
JDK 1.8.0 Update 25

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When retrieving the properties from a bean the java.beans.Introspector does not return the properties defined by getter/setter methods implemented as default methods in an interface implemented by the bean.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Implement a default getter method in an interface. Create a class that implements the interface but does not override the default method. Now use Introspector.getBeanInfo(beanClass) to get the properties.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The result should contain the properties defined by the default methods in the interface.
ACTUAL -
The result does not contain the properties defined by the default methods in the interface.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
