Re: [Ikvm-developers] Invalid code generated for interface with initializer

[Jeroen F. <je...@su...>]

It's not very common for interfaces to have static methods, so it is understandable that it confuses some tools, but the ECMA spec does explicitly allow it:

"An interface type definition can define and implement static methods (see §8.4.3) since static methods are associated with the interface type itself rather than with any value of the type."

Jeroen
