i think we're talking two different things ... if you have an empty superclass 
constructor and you don't declare any constructors, then yes, there is an 
implicit constructor created in your subclass that calls super (as well, if you 
DO declare a constructor and there is an empty super constructor, implicitly a 
super() is added to the top of your constructor). in this case, because the 
anonymous subclass is declared as new ERXEC(os), it's actually calling the 
ERXEC(ObjectStore) constructor (which I PRESUME java secretly added into your 
subclass with a super(os) call -- this is a little different than a normal 
class). However, Kieran's specifically talking about the 
ERXEC.newEditingContext() factory method, which you're bypassing here by 
explicitly subclassing ERXEC and instantiating the class directly.
