Hi Everyone,

My first post at Javaranch.

Wanted to know what purpose does constructors serve in Abstract Classes if those classes should never be instantiated.

Constructors in abstract classes get executed when their subclasses are instantiated. As you know there is has to be a call to super() in subclass' constructors.
