Description misterm 2010-04-16 14:44:25 UTC

When you type new SomeClass() and SomeClass doesn't exist, a hint is shown for creating class SomeClass. When the class gets created, it gets package level visibilitym but the constructor is created as public. The constructor should be package-level targeted, not only for consistency, but mainly because sometimes the developer needs the class to be public (due to some framework/architecture), while the constructor could (and sometimes should) remain restricted.
