If I yank your sample program in a buffer in Java mode, with point at
<1>, C-M-e goes to <4>, as expected.  So I don´t know why you need to
implement your own end-of-defun-function in your package.

The docstring is perhaps a bit confusing, but the Emacs manual and
glossary defines what end-of-defun does in each major mode more
precisely: It moves point to the end of the current defun.  When the
point is in between two defuns, the current defun is defined as the next
defun that follows the point.  So the expected navigation is <1> -> <4>,
<2> -> <3>, which is how the included java-mode works.

I'm not sure about the problem your solution is trying to fix.  Perhaps
I'm missing something.
