I understand that Interface methods are implicitly public. Java Docs Tutorial says
All abstract, default, and static methods in an interface are
implicitly public, so you can omit the public modifier.
Out of abstract, static and default, which modifiers are implicitly declared in Java 8.
I thought abstract was not implicitly declared anymore as Java 8 introduced default method in interfaces, but I still get a warning in Intellij IDEA.
Modifier 'abstract' is redundant for interface methods.
public interface TestInterface {
abstract int print(); // abstract redundant ?.
int print2(); //legal.but public or public abstract ?.
}

The language spec - specifically Section 9.4, states that abstract and public are implicit.
Every method declaration in the body of an interface is implicitly public (§6.6). It is permitted, but discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the public modifier for a method declaration in an interface.
An interface method lacking a default modifier or a static modifier is implicitly abstract, so its body is represented by a semicolon, not a block. It is permitted, but discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the abstract modifier for such a method declaration.
This is why IntelliJ warns you about it; by the JLS, you're doing something completely redundant.
As a bonus, fields in interfaces are implicitly public static final:
Every field declaration in the body of an interface is implicitly public, static, and final. It is permitted to redundantly specify any or all of these modifiers for such fields.
