Do i need to implement the interface from parent class again

Question

I have a interface ShippingProduct and 2 classes ShippingProductStandard, ShippingProductGurtmass.

The class ShippingProductStandard implements the interface ShippingProduct.

public class ShippingProductStandard implements ShippingProduct {
...
}

Now i want that, the class ShippingProductGurtmass extends ShippingProductStandard and implements ShippingProduct. Do i need to implement the interface ShippingProduct like that:

public class ShippingProductGurtmass extends ShippingProductStandard implements ShippingProduct {
...
}

Or do i only need to extend the class ShippingProductStandard and it will implement the interface ShippingProduct from the parent class automatic?

public class ShippingProductGurtmass extends ShippingProductStandard{
...
}

Just extend the class ShippingProductStandard and it will implement the interface ShippingProduct from the parent class automatically. You may override those methods if you like.

there is no need to write a relationship like this

public class ShippingProductGurtmass extends ShippingProductStandard implements ShippingProduct {
...
}

you can use only this code to call the overrided/implemented methods (in ShippingProductGurtmass) of Interface ShippingProduct

public class ShippingProductGurtmass extends ShippingProductStandard{
...
}

Relation hierarchy is automatically generated. You can Imagine it like as the java Concept says Object is a parent Class for all classes written in Java.

Do i need to implement the interface from parent class again
