Antonio Goncalves commented on ROASTER-41:
------------------------------------------

There is no {{addConstructor}} method in Roaster as it treats it as a method. Instead you should use {{setConstructor(true)}} :

{code}
javaClassSource.addMethod().setPublic().setConstructor(true).setBody("super();");
javaClassSource.addMethod().setPublic().setConstructor(true).setParameters("String message").setBody("super(message);");
{code}

> At the moment there is no easy way to add a constructor. {{JavaClassSource}} has an API to add methods, fields, annotation... but no constructor. The closest to create a constructor would be : 
> {code}
> javaClassSource.setName("MyException").setSuperType(Exception.class);
> javaClassSource.addMethod().setPublic().setName("MyException").setBody("super();");
> {code}
> The method returns void and setting the name of the method is useless. It would be better to have something like :        
> {code}
> javaClassSource.setName("MyException").setSuperType(Exception.class);
> javaClassSource.addConstructor().setPublic().setBody("super();");
> javaClassSource.addConstructor().setPublic().setParameters("String message").setBody("super(message);");
> {code}
