<Sound Dev> RFR: 8250858 Address reliance on default constructors in the Java Sound APIs

[Philip Race]

   39 public abstract class MidiDeviceProvider {
   40
   41     /**
   42      * Constructs a {@code MidiDeviceProvider}.
   43      */
   44     protected MidiDeviceProvider() {}
   45


Why is this not using the same text we settled on elsewhere for 
constructors of abstract classes ?

"Constructor for subclasses to call"
