Issue between Java 8 and Java 7. Properties files loading precedence

Found a bug in spring boot. The precedence of loading the profiles is reversed when I switch between JAVA 7 and JAVA 8. Reference to git issue - spring-projects/spring-boot#4111

Steps to reproduce

• set JAVA_HOME to java 1.7 (I'm using 1.7.0_67)
• run mvn clean install. Tests pass.
• set JAVA_HOME to java 1.8 (I'm using 1.8.0_60)
• run mvn clean install. Tests fail.

Description of Issue

There are two profiles that are loaded - default and test.

Here is the application.yml file

spring:
  profiles: default

rest:
  connectionTimeoutMillis: 20000
  readTimeoutMillis: 60000
  maxConnectionsPerHost: 25
  maxTotalConnections: 25
  httpProxyEnabled: false
  httpProxyHost: localhost
  httpProxyPort: 8888
---
spring:
  profiles: test

rest:
  connectionTimeoutMillis: 30000

Followed by an override file application-test.properties

rest.connectionTimeoutMillis: 40000

While running JAVA 7, the value for rest.connectionTimeoutMillis comes as 40000. When you switch to JAVA 8, the value comes out as 30000.
