How to get actual IMethodBinding for anonymous class constructor? [message #1719971]

Hello,
Let's assume that I have a code

class Base
{
	public Base()
	{
		System.out.println("Hello");
	}
}

new Base()
{
	public void test()
	{
		
	}
};

It means that when I call

new Base(){...}

this constructor will be called

public Base()
{
	System.out.println("Hello");
}

but when I try to get key of IMethodBinding of this ClassInstanceCreation, I receive another key than actual constructor has. So my question is how to get this key? Thanks

Strictly speaking, the anonymous instantiation will invoke the ctor of Base only indirectly via super().
That means that seeing different keys from the instance creation and the ctor declaration should be expected.
OTOH, I'm not 100% sure, what exactly you're trying to achieve.

Sorry, but I want to get IMethodBinding in implicit ctor call. The given example demonstrates this. Here is no implitic call to super(...), but it's called. So my point is to get somehow IMethodBinding for super() which will be called
