default methods in interfaces

[mohan.radhakrishnan at polarisFT.com]

Hi,
         There is no user list and this is a basic question. The default 
methods in interfaces are being used to implement 'MixIn' classes(AspectJ 
does it by weaving classes ) and some references even mention multiple 
inheritance. What is the general design pattern in application code that 
this is intended for ? Is this  related to functional programming styles 
in some way ?

Should I just search older threads for this type of discussion ?

Thanks,
Mohan
