You're right.  I can't find the javadoc on my machine that had the abstract
methods in interfaces, but the only files I actually did myself were the
Connector API ones and I don't seem to have that Javadoc right now.  Maybe
it was in the O'Reilly book appendix?  I remember thinking it was odd when I
saw it.  It's not important.

As I said in my previous email the abstract keyword on an interface method
clearly will have no impact, so feel free to change it.

As for the javadoc, we had a pretty fair amount on the initial checkin, but
I wouldn't be surprised if we missed some, or if some is missing on the
latest 2.0 bits so again feel free to add.

Cheers

You can say that methods in an interface are abstract, since the
interface doesn't contain an implementation.

But I see no reason for declaring them abstract, since the abstract keyword 
only has meaning when used in a class definition.

Sun doesn't declare methods in the interfaces abstract -- check the Javadoc 
generated from EJB 2.0 PFD2 compared to jboss-j2ee.

I think we -- and I would be willing to do that -- should clean the 
interfaces such that they don't use the abstract keyword. 

And a bit more Javadoc wouldn't hurt ;)

Cheers,

  Jesper
