Abstract: Key classes have become excellent starting points for developers to understand unknown software systems. Up to now, a variety of approaches have been proposed to mine key classes in a ...

Abstract: An important challenge in dynamic software development is to predict object formation run-time object communication errors in complex environments involving multiple and multi-level object ...

Have you ever wondered how Java seamlessly combines its primitive data types with object-oriented programming? Enter wrapper classes, an important but often overlooked Java feature. These special ...

We have ATs that make the constructor of all non-abstract blocks be public and soon we will do the same for Particles. It would be nice to have a way to specify ATing constructors in bulk for these ...

Properties and methods make Java classes interesting. Properties represent the data an object possesses, while methods enable the intelligent manipulation of that data. However, to perform any ...

A recent Ballerina interoperability-related fix (#41452) has introduced new compile-time validations on external functions to prevent the use of constructors related to abstract classes, starting from ...

We publish the best academic work (that's too often lost to peer reviews & the TA's desk) to the global tech community ...

Java is an object-oriented programming language. To create objects and meaningfully initialize them, a developer must use a Java constructor. Constructors are a critical part of software development ...
