Have a look at the Java Virtual Machine Specification, chapter 2.9. It say on the <init>
name:
At the level of the Java Virtual Machine, every constructor written in the Java programming language (JLS §8.8) appears as an instance initialization method that has the special name
<init>
. This name is supplied by a compiler. Because the name is not a valid identifier, it cannot be used directly in a program written in the Java programming language.
That’s why <init>
can be found on the stack trace, but is not accessible with code.
