Hi Dave,
Extending an interface does not have any impact on any
Code, and cannot actually break anything -- as long as
You don't implement any (sub) interface.
I guess that's why the API Tooling Team decided to no
Longer support the " noextend" tag for
interfaces.
There's a bug for this on bugzilaa, and the
API_Javadoc_Tags
Wiki also explains it.
Cheers,
