can we extends more than one interface ?

can we extends more than one interface like

interface Super extends Base1,Base2,Base3 

i have tried and it is actually working fine but some one says that interface can exceed only one interface .

So who are you going to believe? The compiler, or "someone else"?

Maybe in an older version of java you could only use one. Currently, I don't have any problem implementing multiple interfaces.

That "some one" just heard the word extends and jumped the gun.
Just like I did when I read the title.

Not really. Interface extending interface and class implementing interface are totally two different things.

The Java™ Language Specification has a section about this. You can see from the grammar that an interface can extend several other interfaces, because it says

. . . , InterfaceType

Yes, I took more than a passing glance at this code block and noticed my mistake. I interpreted my response as implementing. My mistake.
