Java 8 question about default and static methods in interfaces

Show all headers | View raw

Consider the following Java 8 interfaces:

  public interface Foo {
    default void method () {
      System.out.println("Foo.method");
    }
  }
  public interface Bar extends Foo {
    default void method () {
      System.out.println("Bar.method");
    }
  }

The question is, can Foo.method be used from Bar.method?
In other words, is the following version of Bar legal?

  public interface Bar extends Foo {
    default void method () {
      super.method();
      System.out.println("Bar.method");
    }
  }

I didn't see a reference in the docs I used, if static
methods can be redefined as well.  Does anyone know?

I'd appreciate a link I could use for a better reference
than the Oracle Java Tutorial.
