- * <h4>Accessing Public Constructors In A Default Access Superclass</h4>

- * However, an <code>IllegalAccessException</code> is thrown if the constructors is invoked.</p>
- *

- * If this call succeeds, then the method can be invoked as normal.
- * This call will only succeed when the application has sufficient security privilages.
- * If this call fails then a warning will be logged and the method may fail.</p>
