Compiler says : child1 is not abstract and does not override abstract method defmethod() in p.parent.
"defmethod()" defined in parent is default it is not seen in any classes outside the package. For class child1 "defmethod() in parent" does not exist. So why is the compiler complaining here ??

Thankyou!!

If you consult the JLS

It is a compile-time error to declare an abstract class type such that it is not possible to create a subclass that implements ALL of its abstract methods



In your code, there is no possible way to create a concrete implementation of defmethod()...
