Running the regression tests on Java 8 produces a couple of failures related to sort(). This was observed in:

Jython 2.7.1 (default:7ebdc6c80d55, Sep 11 2015, 01:50:57)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.8.0_45

test_sort produces quite a lengthy complaint that isn't actually failure (but I'm not sure how to interpret it):

error in exception during sort left some permutation
out of order at index 417 Complains(417) Complains(416)
...
followed by several hundred lines of output.

The specific failure in test_list_jy is:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_sort (__main__.JavaListTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\jython\2.7.1b1\Lib\test\list_tests.py", line 442, in test_sort
    self._test_sort()
  File "C:\jython\2.7.1b1\Lib\test\list_tests.py", line 446, in _test_sort
    u.sort()
TypeError: sort(): expected 1 args; got 0

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which is odd.
