FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Javadoc marks interface methods with the public access
modifiers, which is always implied for interfaces. The
JLS "strongly discourages" this style.

see:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/interfaces.doc.html#78651

"Every method declaration in the body of an interface is implicitly public.

It is permitted, but strongly discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the public modifier for interface methods."


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Look at the JavaDoc for java.util.List for example

This bug can be reproduced always.
