Bug 153592

Summary: [convert anonymous] inserts unnecessary call to super()
Product: [Eclipse Project] JDT Reporter: David Saff <david>
Component: UIAssignee: JDT-UI-Inbox <jdt-ui-inbox>
Status: CLOSED WONTFIX QA Contact:
Severity: normal    
Priority: P3    
Version: 3.2   
Target Milestone: ---   
Hardware: PC   
OS: Windows XP   
Whiteboard: stalebug

Description David Saff CLA 2006-08-11 11:51:44 EDT
In 3.2.  In the following code:

public class Outer {
	public void foo() {
		final int a = 5;
		new Object() {
			void foo() {
				System.out.println(a);
			}
		}.foo();
	}
}

Perform "Convert Anonymous to Nested Type", and you get:

public class Outer {
	private final class Inner {
		private final int a;

		private Inner(int a) {
			super();
			this.a = a;
		}

		void foo() {
			System.out.println(a);
		}
	}

	public void foo() {
		final int a = 5;
		new Inner(a).foo();
	}
}

The call to super() is unnecessary, and somewhat confusing.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
