public interface TestInterface {
public void TestInterface();
}
---> method has constructor name
This is only a warning, and you can turn it off in the compiler preferences
(Window>Preferences>Java>Compiler>Errors and Warnings>Methods with constructor
name). By default, the warning is on, since this is generally not intentional
and rather misleading.
public interface TestInterface {
public TestInterface();
}
---> interface cannot have constructor.
I don't see a problem with this error. Given it has no return type, this
declaration would be a constructor (with no actual body).
Why is this a problem for you ?
Closing, please reopen if you think we should not report an error. |
note: I am using Java SDK 1.4.0_01 compiling this test, TestInterface.java causes the error "This method has a constructor name" This compiles fine with javac. contents of TestInterface.java: ============================================================ public interface TestInterface { public void TestInterface(); } ============================================================ This version with a genuine constructor name generates the same eclipse error "This method has a constructor name". (note the removal of the void return argument) ============================================================ public interface TestInterface { public TestInterface(); } ============================================================ javac generates this error: TestInterface.java:10: <identifier> expected public TestInterface(); -Kevin
