UnusedModifier
Fields in interfaces are automatically public static final, and
methods are public abstract.
Classes or interfaces nested in an interface are automatically public
and static (all nested interfaces are automatically static).
For historical reasons, modifiers which are implied by the context
are accepted by the compiler, but are superfluous.
This rule is defined by the following Java class:
net.sourceforge.pmd.rules.UnusedModifier
Example:
public interface Foo {
public abstract void bar(); // both abstract and public are ignored by the compiler
public static final int X = 0; // public, static, and final all ignored
public static class Bar {} // public, static ignored
public static interface Baz {} // ditto
}
public class Bar {
public static interface Baz {} // static ignored
}
