I'll let others formally review. Although there are many ways to implement this kind of inheritance, I do think that what I did here was also a valid solution. The parent class was already `abstract` -- all I did was to make the `processEndElement` abstract instead of empty, forcing the subtypes to think about it and implement it. Calling `super` is then no longer allowed. I did not remove `super` because I knew it was empty, I removed it because it was now `abstract`. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/958
