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.
