Erm, I'm not sure what you meant to say, but what you've said is false.
Java virtual (ie non-final non-static) methods need not be public; they
can happily be protected, for example.

Did you mean that /interface/ methods must be public?

[A pet hate: you can't supply template method definitions in an interface.
Bah.]
