Hello Varada,
I went back and looked at how this class instance gets instantiated. The code
uses reflection to do it:
private static PlatformSocketOptions newInstance(String cn) {
Class<PlatformSocketOptions> c;
try {
c = (Class<PlatformSocketOptions>)Class.forName(cn);
return c.getConstructor(new Class<?>[] { }).newInstance();
so yes, this expects a `public` constructor and that explains why the existing
`LinuxSocketOptions` has a public constructor.
What you have right now, in this class, looks fine to me then.
