A warning icon "Overridable method call in constructor" is shown for final classes which is wrong because in final classes no method can be overwritten.

Confirmed, example code to produce this situation as follows:

public final class A extends B {

    public A() {
        this.test();
    }
}

class B {

    public void test() {

    }
}
