This style is applied to several components, it's reported by the ExplicitInitialization checkstyle rule: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_coding.html#ExplicitInitialization "Rationale: each instance variable gets initialized twice, to the same value. Java initializes each instance variable to its default value (0 or null) before performing any initialization specified in the code. So in this case, x gets initialized to 0 twice, and bar gets initialized to null twice. So there is a minor inefficiency. This style of coding is a hold-over from C/C++ style coding, and it shows that the developer isn't really confident that Java really initializes instance variables to default values."
