Title
Body
I'm having some trouble using multiple constructors in java. what I want to do is something like this: public class MyClass { // first constructor public MyClass(arg1, arg2, arg3) { // do some construction } // second constructor public MyClass(arg1) { // do some stuff to calculate arg2 and arg3 this(arg1, arg2, arg3); } } but I can't, since the second constructor cannot call another constructor, unless it is the first line. What is the common solution for such situation? I can't calculate arg2 and arg3 "in line". I thought maybe creating a construction helper method, that will do the actual construction, but I'm not sure that's so "pretty"... EDIT : Using a helper method is also problematic since some of my fields are final, and I can't set them using a helper method.
