abstract class Automobile
{
void honk(){};
}
Why is there a semicolon at the end of the method honk?

It is an empty statement. It is not required but it is not wrong either.

Thanks for the reply...but I am not asking regarding the empty parenthesis but the semicolon which actually isnt required at the end. Also JCreator shows the following compiling error.
Automobile.java:3: missing method body, or declare abstract
void honk();
^
1 error

Yes, I am also talking about ; Addition semicolons are not required but they are not wrong. Please use regular Java compiler for OCPJP purpose.
The error message that you have quoted is because there is no method body i.e. { }. It is not because of semicolon.
