> Java 9 introduces overridden methods with covariant return types for the following methods in java.nio.ByteBuffer:
>     position​(int newPosition)
>     limit​(int newLimit)
>     flip​()
>     clear​()
>     mark​()
>     reset​()
>     rewind​()
> In Java 9 they all now return ByteBuffer, whereas the methods they override return Buffer,
> resulting in exceptions like this when executing on Java 8 and lower:
> java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.ByteBuffer.limit(I)Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer
> This is because the generated byte code includes the static return type of the method, which is not found on Java 8 and lower because the overloaded methods with covariant return types don't exist (the issue appears even with source and target 8 or lower in compilation parameters).
> The solution is to cast ByteBuffer instances to Buffer before calling the method.
