Description Philipe Mulet CLA 2001-10-10 22:53:09 EDT 
When this() or super() is not the first statement of a constructor, the following error message shows:

"Syntax error on token "(", "++", "--" expected"

The error message has nothing to do with the reason. I think it should be something like:

"A call to another constructor must be the first statement of the calling constructor"

NOTES:

	The parse error message could be improved.
	A custom message could be added.
