Well - the following compiles and run with Java 8 EA something:

public class DefMet {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Bar o = new C();
o.method();
}
}

class C implements Bar {
}

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

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

Note the use of Foo.super instead of just super.
