Anyway, constructor is special, considering inheritance. For example, the declaration signature is not required to be compatible when overridden. You might say that constructors are redeclared instead of overridden, shadowing the parent constructor and final would disallow redeclaration. In terms of what final does to a private method, as I understand, it will just be ignored everywhere? (except for constructor) I mean, final deny overriding but private methods cannot be overridden by design. We should have that in the documentation as well, I guess. Alex
