Description Miloslav Metelka 2011-04-14 08:01:55 UTC 
When class A has no non-arg constructor e.g.

class A {

  A(int i) {
    ...
  }

}

and class B extends it then when having this ('|' denotes caret)

class B extends A {

  B|

}

pressing Ctrl+Space offers to generate "B()" only. Of course the B() could guess parameter's value to superclass A but in reality often the same parameter is just passed to superclass so it would make sense to offer generation of "B(int i)" too.

This seems to be broken in Netbeans 7.4 again. It was working in 7.3, but with 7.4 pressing CNTRL-SPACE in the class body bring up the suggestions, but includes only one no-args constructor.
