In the following type of error message:

   Test.java:7: method() in Test cannot implement method() in Interface;
attempting to assign weaker access privileges; was public
  public class Test
         ^

it would be helpful if the compiler reported the line number of the declaration
of the method instead of the line number of the class.


Here's a test case:

----------------------------------------
interface Interface
{
    void method();
} // interface Interface


public class Test
       implements Interface
{
    void method()
    {
    } // method()
} // class Test
----------------------------------------
Test.java:7: method() in Test cannot implement method() in Interface; attempting
to assign weaker access privileges; was public
public class Test
       ^
1 error
----------------------------------------
