Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-5055:
------------------------------------
This question should be asked on the user mailing list.
The private constructor is there because the class is a utility class with only
static methods. Hence, you should not create an instance of it.
> Private constructor in UtilMisc and some other classes

> Key: OFBIZ-5055
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5055
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Release 10.04, SVN trunk
> Reporter: Martin Kaiser
>
> I have noticed that in some Util (e.g. UtilMisc, UtilObject, StringUtil)
> classes in
> framework/base/src/org/ofbiz/base/util/
> private default constructors are used. By using a private default constructor
> it is impossible to make any extensions to this classes. I don't see any
> cause why this is necessary.
