Didn't used javap command..
but default constructor always added to class file, either it written in source code or not. did you tried for it JD java decompiler to generate source file from class file.

If you have any doubt just call super(); as first line in subclass *constructor without having any constructor in super class. see what will happen!!!!😀

No need at all. There is always a default constructor as follows even if you dont declare yours,
It has following structure.
public class_name
{
}

Sure it will show you all class members using command javap -private <ClassName>
If your code is like this one

class super1{
}
public class HelloWorld extends super1{
    HelloWorld (String s)    {
          s="ABC"    ;
        }
public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }
}

Then compile the code and use javap you will get following output

C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\My Documents\Downloads>javap -private Hell
oWorld
Compiled from "HelloWorld.java"
public class HelloWorld extends super1{
    HelloWorld(java.lang.String);
    public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}

For class super1.

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\Downloads>javap -private supe
r1
Compiled from "HelloWorld.java"
class super1 extends java.lang.Object{
    super1();
}

I was just trying something and came to know that may be your B.java has declared constructor as "private" If you have its visibility as "private" then following command "javap B" will not show the private constructor. In order to view it you will have t explicitly run the command as "javap -private B".

While "javap -private B". is working fine.

sookieshow me the error and your B.java ?

😲, its working, what's wrong , I was doing

Here is final conclusion

 
 
With public constructor
Source:
public class abc{
   
    abc(){}   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }
 
}
Output
 
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\Downloads>javap  abc
Compiled from "abc.java"
public class abc extends java.lang.Object{
    public abc();
    public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}
 
With private constructor
Source:
public class abc{
   
    private abc(){}   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }
 
}
Output
 
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\Downloads>javap  abc
Compiled from "abc.java"
public class abc extends java.lang.Object{
    public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}
 
With private constructor
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\Downloads>javap -private abc
Compiled from "abc.java"
public class abc extends java.lang.Object{
    private abc();
    public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}
