Try this code:

	class Base {
		public Base(String foo) {
		}
	}

	class SubClass extends Base {
		public SubClass() {
			System.out.println("a statement");
			super("bar");
		}
	}

The error reported is:
Syntax error on token "(", "." expected	SubClass.java

The javac error is (more helpful):
SubClass.java:5: call to super must be first statement in constructor super("bar");
