Issue2375

Why does this fail?
>>> from javax.swing.tree import DefaultTreeModel, DefaultMutableTreeNode, DefaultTreeCellRenderer
>>> class AModel(DefaultTreeModel):
...   def __init__(self):
...     super(AModel, self).__init__(DefaultMutableTreeNode())
... 
>>> a = AModel()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Default constructor failed for Java superclass javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeModel

But this works:
>>> class AModel(DefaultTreeModel):
...   def __init__(self):
...     DefaultTreeModel.__init__(self, DefaultMutableTreeNode())
... 
>>> a = AModel()
>>>

I've tracked this to 95d09ba14aa7834f1e2cebcfb48593dc3b480f69 and http://bugs.jython.org/issue1540

Hey Jim,

Does this patch make sense? Sorry don't have much context into it, therefore would like your review before committing.

Darjus, +1

Makes perfect sense: ProxyMaker handles constructors differently than ordinary methods because that is Java's model. So no need to prefix with super__

I have committed this patch on your behalf in https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/406ca703d7d3

Just wanted to say, it works for me now. Thanks!

Closing out per Alex's report.
