Java 8: Member Accessibility

Question

Availability

Java 8 says:

All interface members without access modifiers are implicitly publicly

Java 7 says:

All interface members are implicitly public.

When I tried the following code:

public interface Test {
    protected int i = 10;
}

And compiled, I got

Test.java data: error: modifier protected not allowed here
        protected int i = 10;
                      ^

Java version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b129)

But in the member declaration, InterfaceI do not lack access modifier , then why I get this error.
