Implicit call to 'super()'

Reports constructors that do not begin with a call to "super" constructor or another constructor of the same class.

Such constructors can be thought of as implicitly beginning with a call to super(). Some coding standards prefer that such calls to super() be made explicitly.

Example:

class Foo {
  Foo() {}
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Foo {
  Foo() {
    super();
  }
}

Use the inspection settings to ignore classes extending directly from Object. For instance:

class Foo {
  Foo() {} // Not reported
}

class Bar extends Foo {
  Bar() {} // Implicit call to 'super()'
}
