The [JLS|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/interfaces.html#9.4] says:

{quote}
For compatibility with older versions of the Java platform, it is permitted but discouraged, as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the abstract modifier for methods declared in interfaces.

It is permitted, but strongly discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the public modifier for interface methods.
{quote}

The vast majority of CDI API interfaces specifies the public modifier while leaving out the abstract modifier, however, there are exceptions:

{code:JAVA}
public interface Context {
...
    boolean isActive();
}
{code}

{code:JAVA}
public interface BeanAttributes<T> {
    public abstract Set<Type> getTypes();
    public abstract Set<Annotation> getQualifiers();
...
{code}
