Description Mickael Istria CLA 2016-11-17 02:32:42 EST 
Currently, it seems like implementing an interface with "default" methods doesn't write skeletons for those methods. However, the purpose of default is mostly to enable some backward-compatibility for evolving interfaces, it's oot meant to make the method "optional". So IMO, it would better user guidance to create the skeletons for the default methods as well, to encourage developers to implement them properly.

I think we should at least offer an option to do so.
