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????

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.
