Description Moritz Eysholdt CLA 2011-11-28 09:34:45 EST 
Example 1:
---
class bar {	
	new() {
		this(true)
	}	
}
---

Example 2:
---
class foo extends bar {
	new() {
 		super(true)
 	}
}
---

In both cases the error message is "Cannot access local variable bar with parentheses". 

A message such as "Constructor with parameters (Boolean) could not be found" would be more appropriate.
Comment 1 Dennis Huebner CLA 2013-02-14 03:49:06 EST 
Still an issue IMHO.

With Example 1:

marker:
Multiple markers at this line
- Invalid number of arguments. Expected bar
- Recursive constructor invocation

Quick fix:
- Change to this (twice)


With Example 2:

marker:
- Invalid number of arguments. Expected bar

Quick fix:
- Change to super (twice)

Java says:
Example 1:
- The constructor bar(boolean) is undefined
Example 2:
- The constructor bar(boolean) is undefined
Comment 2 Jan Koehnlein CLA 2013-02-19 11:44:52 EST 
Fixes pushed to gerrit.

- Quickfixes that don't change the code are filtered
- Error messages have been improved
