We accept the following invalid code from 3.4.0 and above:
interface A { void methA(); }
class B implements A{
void methA() { }
}
We used to error out with:
B.java:4: error: Class `B' must override `B.methA()' with a public method in
order to implement
interface `A'.
void methA() { }
^
1 error
Which is correct.
Sun's 1.4.0 javac gives:
B.java:3: methA() in B cannot implement methA() in A; attempting to assign
weaker access privileges;
was public
class B implements A{
^
1 error
