Story: after 30 minutes searching why NetBeans reports that it can not find a matching constructor your a class I found the issue and now I am hoping for a new feature. I wrote "void" before one of the constructors. I think I'm not the first one who did this when writing many lines of code. So a warning in NetBeans editor "this method name is same as class name" would have helped me. Typically nobody would have a method that has the same name as the class itself, only as a result of a typo. class Foobar { public Foobar(int value) {....} public void Foobar(int v1, int v2) {....} <--- here NetBeans editor should warn Thanks!
