Well, I prefer to be explicit. But this goes beyond a matter of taste. 
Building with kjc, I get the following errors:
---
../java/beans/PropertyChangeSupport.java:1: error:Unaccessible class 
"java/util/Map/Entry" can not be imported [JLS 7.5.1]
../java/beans/VetoableChangeSupport.java:1: error:Unaccessible class 
"java/util/Map/Entry" can not be imported [JLS 7.5.1]
../javax/swing/JDesktopPane.java:62: error:Cannot find class 
"AccessibleJComponent" [JLS 8]
---
If I add the "public", the first two errors disappear. It may be a 
compiler bug. I'll try to nail it down.
