Blake:

Interfaces are great for truly abstracting complex code structures but
if that's not what you are writing then it may seem a useless variety of
"abstract".  It does give a lot of flexibility.

Another use is a constant pool.  You can use interfaces to store
constants for a package and get access via a simple call on
"implements".
