This is identical to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38147 except for "implements", rather than "extends", as in:

public class OverrideMustBePublicQuickFix {

  static class Bar implements Runnable {

    @Override
    private void run() {}
  }
}

There should be a quick fix to make the method public.

We do not get the quick fix when the overriding method is 'private'.
Otherwise, we get the quick fix to change its visibility to 'public'.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
