    If we set a method as final it means we do not want any class to

    override it. But the constructor (as per Java Language

    Specification) cannot be overridden. So there is no use of marking it

    final.

    If we set a method as abstract it means that it has no body and it

    should be implemented in a child class. But the constructor is called

    implicitly when the new keyword is used. Therefore it needs a

    body.

    If we set a method as static it means that it belongs to the class, but

    not a particular object. The constructor is always called to initialize

    an object. Therefore, there is no use of marking constructor static.
