Description Martin Aeschlimann

When getting the flags of a method from an interface (IMethod.getFlags()), such 
methods are marked as 'abstract', even in the source the 'abstract' keyword is 
not used.
We have code in jdt.ui to filter this out again at least at two places.
JavaElementImageProvider and the JavaDoc frontend.
This is not done for the 'public' modifier: Methods in interface are 'public' 
by default, but IMethod.getFlags() does not reflect that.

I think the consistent solution would be to have JavaModel reflecting directly 
the document structure, and not make modifications depending on the Java 
context.

If the method was defined in binaries, then we cannot improve the current 
behavior. On sources, I cannot reproduce the problem. The only flag we do 
propagate by mistakre is AccSemiColonBody (internal parsing flag), but it does 
not collide with the visibility flags.
