I'll go to the menu and choose Code, Generate. I'll choose Constructor, and first I'll click on Select None, and that means create a no-arguments constructor. Now, I'm going to move this code up a bit so that it's above the getType method. I'll collapse this code. So I can clearly see that I now have an explicit no-arguments constructor.
