No they can't.
Richard, please review JavaRanch's naming policy and change your name in your profile to an acceptable format (FirstName LastName).
Thanks,

Just to throw in something here....constructors are not inherited either, nor can they return a value, although you can have a method with the same name as a constructor and with a return value, which looks like a constructor but is not. Sneaky little bug that one!

Thank you for that tidbit, Rob. That's a good one to tuck away for exam day, etc.
