However the examples given in the RFC are really bad ones. Why on earth would you need a constructor for an anonymous class? Anonymous classes are used to implement quickly some interface. Frankly, constructors are not part of any interface. Besides a constructor is totally useless in an anonymous class as it will never be called after the object is created.
Let's not rule out this feature yet. It's just a weak RFC, so let's wait for better approaches. Lazare INEPOLOGLOU Ingénieur Logiciel
