[Bug java/23655] New: [3.4/4.0/4.1 Regression] Accepts invalid

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

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
