Description

The generic function default-constructor-arguments returns a default list of arguments to pass to the jobject constructor for the CLOS instance instance.

It is called by create-instance-jobject-list when its args argument is t. default-constructor-arguments is also called by the cl:initialize-instance method of standard-java-object when :construct is passed with value t. It is intended for you to specialize on your own classes.

The default method (on standard-java-object) returns nil, which is sometimes useful, but in most cases you probably need to pass some arguments to the constructor.
