Should methods in a Java interface be declared with or without the public access modifier?

Technically it doesn't matter, of course. A class method that implements an interface is always public. But what is a better convention?

Java itself is not consistent in this. See for instance Collection vs. Comparable, or Future vs. ScriptEngine.

Try JLS, it will clear your doubts

It is permitted, but discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the public and/or abstract modifier for a method declared in an interface.
