Can't set modifier to Method declaration [message #717759]

I use jdt(Ver=3.6.2.v_A76_R36x, API=JSL3) to generate a member method or field
I find the output method has no modifiers.
MethodDeclaration#setModifier(int) is @Deprecated,So I use MethodDeclaration#setFlag(int) method.
I tried parameter Modifier.PUBLIC, Modifier.ModifierKeyword.PUBLIC_KEYWORD.toFlagValue(), neither works.

Code:
MethodDeclaration md = ast.newMethodDeclaration();

md.setFlags(Modifier.ModifierKeyword.PUBLIC_KEYWORD.toFlagValue());
md.setReturnType2(ast.newPrimitiveType(PrimitiveType.VOID));
// md.setFlags(Modifier.PUBLIC | Modifier.STATIC);
md.setName(ast.newSimpleName("onCreate"));
Output:
void onCreate( ...

Question:
Where public keyword gone? how to add modifier? why ? or a Bug?

setModifier is replaced with setProperty of MODIFIERS2_PROPERTY. However, if you have to modify the code, you should something like.

ListRewrite listRewrite= rewrite.getListRewrite(md, MethodDeclaration.MODIFIERS2_PROPERTY);
listRewrite.insertFirst(ast.newModifier(Modifier.ModifierKeyword.PUBLIC_KEYWORD), null);
