This, coming from the source - Sun itself.

[spoon!]

final means method cannot be overridden; constructors can't be overridden

abstract means method must be overridden; static methods can't be overridden

I still dont get why constructor cant be declared as final????

[jelly]

You can't mark constructors as final as there would be no meaning, as spoon says constructors cannot be overridden, final only makes sense when applied to something that _could_ have been overridden but you don't want it to be.
