4397513: Misleading "interface method" in InvocationHandler specification

[liach]

Update occurrences of the not-exactly-correct "interface method" to "invoked method" because 3 Object methods are proxied too. In addition, update the description about the declaring class of the method to be more accurate so that it doesn't clash with the "duplicate method" section in Proxy.

Hello Chen, would it be better to word that latter part of the sentence as:

the declaring class of the {@code Method} will either be one of the interfaces implemented by the proxy instance, or one of their super interfaces, or the {@code Object} class.

[liach]

Hi Jai, the term "proxy interface" is defined in java.lang.reflect.Proxy, together with "proxy instance":

A proxy class is a class created at runtime that implements a specified
list of interfaces, known as proxy interfaces. A proxy instance
is an instance of a proxy class.

So I believe the term "proxy interface" makes sense when you have a "proxy instance" in the context.

[jaikiran]

Thank you for quoting that text - you are right, that term is already specified, so the changes you have here looks good to me.

[AlanBateman]

I think this wording looks okay.

[liach]

Thanks for the reviews!
