java - How can I test a final class with private constructor? -

how can test class (see code below)?

public final class {      public static final string first = "1st";     public static final string second = "2nd";      private a() {         // nop     } } 

for coverage tools constructor isn't covered tests. tests on this:

assertequals(a.first, "1st"); assertequals(a.second, "2nd"); 

how can test class?

upd

this code solved problem.

@test public void magic() throws nosuchmethodexception, illegalaccessexception, invocationtargetexception, instantiationexception {     constructor<a> constructor = a.class.getdeclaredconstructor();     constructor.setaccessible(true);     instance = constructor.newinstance();      assertnotnull(instance); } 

yes, agree isn't best solution. works :)

reflection way go: how test class has private methods, fields or inner classes?

by way, possibly duplicate of question in link provided.

alternatively, create wrapper method protected forwards calls private method?
