Description Miguel A Paraz

"Implementation classes" are fully specified by the main interface they
implement. Thus, a public class that is not specified by an interface is a
potential error. I'm requesting that these be flagged as warnings, with an
option to add the method signature to the interface.

IMO this is a "style guide" issue and should not be check by the compiler. 

Checks like this should be done by a lint or style checker not by a compiler. 
There aren't any plans to provide a lint or style checker for Eclipse 3.0. IMO 
this is a great third party opportunity.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
