Do I need to put @Override
annotation when I implement an interface (not override an abstract class)?
And what does @Override
annotation achieve?

In Java 5, you must not add @Override
when implementing a method inherited from an interface, in Java 6, you should (or you'll get a compiler warning).
@Override
asserts that a method is intended to override something, and will cause the compiler to notify you should this not or no longer be the case, for instance because the method you are overriding has been renamed.
