According to all the documentation I can find, the following code should
work:

    public MySubClass(BufferedReader file, Session session) throws
Exception {

	// MySubClass specific code cut for clarity

        super(file, session);
    }

On first compilation JBuilder complained that the super class was
lacking a default constructor; which is fair enough as that is the
implicit first line of any sub-class constructor.  But it will not
accept "super(file, session)" giving "Error (37): method required but
value found" regardless of where in the code I place that line.  The
matching constructor does exist and does work.

As an experiment I placed "super()" as the first line of the code - and
got the same error for that line too: deep weirdness.

Am I missing something or is this a bug???
