Description Eduardo Chana 2002-09-05 14:12:19 UTC 
This is an enhancement to the "override 
methods" panel. It should be useful to include 
constructors too in this panel. This is useful 
when you extends a class and wants to imitate 
the constructors found in your parent class.

Best regards.

We are evaluating this feature for the next release. I am just not sure the
override method window is the right place since you cannot *override* constructors.

IMO there should be an editor action or an editor hint allowing to generate new
constructor. It should offer you to choose class fields as parameters and to
delegate to constructor of the superclass if available.

Even if the "override methods" dialog is not the academically correct place for
this, it is the logical place. Users look for this feature from the "override
methods" dialog. Decision to not add constructors to "override methods" dialog
would be bad for usability.

moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Comment 6 Dusan Balek 2013-09-06 14:56:14 UTC 
Generating constructors is possible via Inset Code action now.
