  • Is there any rule that constructor access modifier must be same as class access modifier to make it default constructor ?

    That's a no-argument constructor. Not quite the same as the default constructor, which is what the compiler will add if the programmer doesn't provide one (though a default constructor always is no-argument).

    Which means the answer to the second question is "no". If a default constructor is added, though, I believe it does use the same access modifier as the class.

    I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
