如本文所述，

Java 8中的抽象类与接口

After introducing Default Method, it seems that interfaces and abstract classes are same. However, they are still different concept in Java 8. Abstract class can define constructor. They are more structured and can have a state associated with them. While in contrast, default method can be implemented only in the terms of invoking other interface methods, with no reference to a particular implementation's state. Hence, both use for different purposes and choosing between two really depends on the scenario context.

从业务用例上下文中，接口可用于定义特定的业务规则，其中抽象类将定义启动业务的公共结构。

假设某个企业所有者希望与Amazon和Walmart合作，那么这里定义的接口将是WalmartPartner, AmazonPartner将定义特定的业务规则，抽象类BusinessSetup将获得特定区域的业务设置。

// Interfaces
 
public interface WalmartPartner {
    public static boolean signUpForWalmartBusinessAccount(String BusinessId){
        System.out.println("Setting up Walmart Business Partner");
        return true;
    }
    public default  void  getWalmartDeals(){
        System.out.println("Default walmart deal executed !");
    }
    public abstract void setupShopifyForWalmart();
    public abstract  void setupWalmartProducts();

public interface AmazonPartner {
    public static boolean signUpAsAmazonServicePartner(String BusinessId){
        System.out.println("Setting up Amazon Business Partner");
        return true;
    }
    public default  void  paymentPlatformSetup(){
        System.out.println(" Amazon default payment platform is setup");
    }
    public abstract void setupPrimeMemberDealsByRegion();
    public abstract  void setupPrimeDeals();
}

 // Abstract class 

public abstract class BusinessSetup {
    String businessId ;
    public BusinessSetup(String businessId){
        this.businessId = businessId;
        System.out.println("1. Initial Business setup for BusienssID: "+this.businessId+" is Complete");
    }
    public final boolean getBusinessRegisteredInRegion(String region){
        System.out.println("2. Business got registered in "+region+ "!");
        return true;
    }
    public abstract void setupCustomerPlatform(String customerId);
    public abstract void setupVendorPlatform(String vendorId);

}

// Concrete Class 
public class WalMartPartnerImpl extends BusinessSetup implements WalmartPartner {
    public WalMartPartnerImpl(String businessId) {
        super(businessId);
    }
    @Override
    public void setupCustomerPlatform(String customerId) {
    }

    @Override
    public void setupVendorPlatform(String vendorId) {
    }

    @Override
    public void setupShopifyForWalmart() {
    }

    @Override
    public void setupWalmartProducts() {
    }
    public static void main(String args[]){
        WalMartPartnerImpl walMartPartner = new WalMartPartnerImpl("wal8989");
        walMartPartner.getBusinessRegisteredInRegion("california");
        walMartPartner.getWalmartDeals();
        walMartPartner.setupCustomerPlatform("wal8989");

    }
}

Remi Forax规则是不要用抽象类进行设计。你用界面来设计你的应用。无论Java的版本是什么，无论语言是什么。它以SOLID原理中的界面分离原理为依据。

稍后您可以使用抽象类来分解代码。现在有了Java 8，你可以直接在界面中完成。这只是个设施，仅此而已。

正如在其他回答中提到的，添加实现到接口的能力是为了在Collections框架中提供向后兼容性。我认为，提供向后兼容性可能是向接口添加实现的唯一好的理由。

否则，如果您将实现添加到接口，那么您就违反了最初添加接口的基本规律。Java是一种单一继承语言，不像c++允许多重继承。接口提供了支持多重继承的语言所具有的类型优势，而不会引入多重继承所带来的问题。

更具体地说，Java只允许实现的单一继承，但它允许接口的多重继承。例如，以下是有效的Java代码:

class MyObject extends String implements Runnable, Comparable { ... }

MyObject只继承了一个实现，但它继承了三个契约。

Java传递了实现的多重继承，因为实现的多重继承带来了许多棘手的问题，这些问题超出了本文的讨论范围。添加接口是为了允许合约的多重继承(又名接口)，而不存在实现的多重继承问题。

为了支持我的观点，这里引用了Ken Arnold和James Gosling在《Java编程语言》(第4版)一书中的一句话:

Single inheritance precludes some useful and correct designs. The problems of multiple inheritance arise from multiple inheritance of implementation, but in many cases multiple inheritance is used to inherit a number of abstract contracts and perhaps one concrete implementation. Providing a means to inherit an abstract contract without inheriting an implementation allows the typing benefits of multiple inheritance without the problems of multiple implementation inheritance. The inheritance of an abstract contract is termed interface inheritance. The Java programming language supports interface inheritance by allowing you to declare an interface type

关于你对…

那么什么时候应该使用默认方法的接口，什么时候应该使用抽象类?抽象类在这种情况下仍然有用吗?

Java文档提供了完美的答案。

抽象类与接口的比较:

Abstract classes are similar to interfaces. You cannot instantiate them, and they may contain a mix of methods declared with or without an implementation. However, with abstract classes, you can declare fields that are not static and final, and define public, protected, and private concrete methods. With interfaces, all fields are automatically public, static, and final, and all methods that you declare or define (as default methods) are public. In addition, you can extend only one class, whether or not it is abstract, whereas you can implement any number of interfaces.

它们各自的用例已经在下面的SE帖子中解释了:

接口和抽象类的区别是什么?

抽象类在这种情况下仍然有用吗?

是的。它们仍然有用。它们可以包含非静态的、非最终的方法和属性(受保护，除了公共之外还有私有)，这即使是Java-8接口也不可能实现。

Java Interface中的默认方法将更多地用于提供函数的虚拟实现，从而使该接口的任何实现类不必声明所有抽象方法，即使它们只想处理一个抽象方法。 因此，接口中的默认方法在某种程度上更像是适配器类概念的替代品。

然而，抽象类中的方法应该给出一个有意义的实现，只有在需要覆盖一个通用功能时，任何子类才应该覆盖它。
