Georgi: Thank you! I didn’t have time to log it. (I put on my list to look into how to report a bug in the JDK and hadn’t gotten to it.) I appreciate that you did so now I no longer need to :).

I don’t need credit. The key is that someone reported it!

I hope you don’t mind. I didn’t find an appropriate place to credit you for finding it, I’m sorry. I think it is important to do so because it is:

1) a change of behavior first and foremost
2) it is somehow not compliant with the rules and logic

I played a bit and it seems the varargs have something to do with it. It is what makes the method different and allow it to exist. Was it a static method with two int parameters, the compiler would have complained on all versions. But the compiler failing to recognize there is a static method to be called from a static context is the real issue at hand for me. So even if it was intentional, I think it is a problem that it tries to call the instance method rather than printing an error having two methods that resemble each other in such a way is not allowed.
Also it might have been a bug that it was compiling all along.

Regards,
Georgi

No. I assumed it was intentional.

Anshuman: Oracle runs a cert course. I imagine others have video tutorials as well.
