The updated TestDescription.java claims this:
  *     This test performs the following cases:
  *      1. newclass01 - adding <public> interface-modifier
  *      2. newclass02 - removing <public> interface-modifier

Both interfaces 021bi and 021bir initially have public modifier in 
newclass01/redefineclasses021b.java:
35     public interface redefineclasses021bi {
36 //  ^^^^^^
37         void dummyMethod01();
39     }
41     public interface redefineclasses021bir {
42         void dummyMethod01();
44     }
and both are removed in the newclass02/redefineclasses021b.java:
39     interface redefineclasses021bi {
40         void dummyMethod01();
42     }
44     /* public */ interface redefineclasses021bir {
45  //^^^^^^^^
46         void dummyMethod01();
48     }

It is not clear in what direction the classes are being redefined.
Could you explain a little bit?


redefineClasses/redefineclasses021.java:
  * This test performs the following cases:                                     
 <br>
- *    1. newclass01 - adding <code>public</code> interface-modifier            
     <br>
- *    2. newclass02 - adding <code>protected</code> interface-modifier         
     <br>
- *    3. newclass03 - adding <code>private</code> interface-modifier           
     <br>
- *    4. newclass04 - adding <code>static</code> interface-modifier            
     <br>
+ *    1. newclass01 - adding <code>public</code> interface-modifier            
 <br>
+ *    1. newclass01 - removing <code>public</code> interface-modifier          
   <br>

The change above does not match the TestDescription.java above.
Should it be like below?:
+ *    1. newclass01 - adding <code>public</code> interface-modifier            
 <br>
+ *    2. newclass02 - removing <code>public</code> interface-modifier        
<br>
