It's a common practice to use a single private no-arg constructor
for utility classes (with only static members) to prevent erroneous
instantiation (as another side effect, this private constructor doesn't
show up in Javadoc if you show as usual only public, protected and
package-level
members).
In #602, IDEA marks it (single private no-arg constructor) as
an unused private member ("Private method UtilityClass is never used").
It will be cool if a single no-arg constructor for the class that has
only static members wasn't marked as an unused member
(in a way it's used, it hides the constructor). It's a valid use.
There's a workaround. You can declare the class final and then have a
package-level
(instead of private) constructor. But it will appear in Javadoc if you show
public,
protected and package-level members.
