In vm/reference/java/lang/reflect/Constructor.java, there is the following
comment:
** @exception InstantiationException if the class is abstract.
** <B>Never mind that there should be no constructors
** in an abstract class.</B>
I'm not sure why the author of this comment thought this was the case
(perhaps he was thinking of interfaces? or is it a stylistic comment on
class design?) but AFAIK it's not true. Abstract classes can have
constructors.
