    Description

      Summary

      java.lang.reflect.Proxy::newProxyInstance will throw IllegalArgumentException if one of the given proxy interfaces is sealed. Similiarly, java.lang.invoke.MethodHandleProxies::asInterfaceInstance will throw IllegalArgumentException if the given interface is sealed.

      Problem

      Proxy and MethodHandleProxies API do not specify how to deal with sealed interfaces.

      Solution

      Update the specification of Proxy::newProxyInstance and MethodHandleProxies::asInterfaceInstance to restrict proxy interfaces to be non-sealed; otherwise, it will throw IllegalArgumentException

      Specification

      Changes to java.lang.reflect.Proxy::newProxyInstance spec:

            * <a id="restrictions">{@code IllegalArgumentException} will be thrown
            * if any of the following restrictions is violated:</a>
            * <ul>
            * <li>All of {@code Class} objects in the given {@code interfaces} array
      -     * must represent {@linkplain Class#isHidden() non-hidden} interfaces,
      +     * must represent {@linkplain Class#isHidden() non-hidden} and
      +     * {@linkplain Class#isSealed() non-sealed} interfaces,
            * not classes or primitive types.
            *
            * <li>No two elements in the {@code interfaces} array may
