I have classes SearchToUser and getFilesToWord. GetFilesToWord must inherit SearchToUser fields. Extending works if an empty construction in SearchToUser-class, otherwise:
cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor SearchToUser()
location: class SearchToUser
public class GetFilesToWord extends SearchToUser{
^
1 error
make: *** [all] Error 1
I cannot understand why the empty constructor is required for extending.
