Summary

An explicit constructor in ToolProvider, deprecated for removal, replaced a default constructor. The time has come to "remove" the constructor by making it private and thus on longer part of the external API of the class.

Problem

A deprecated-for-removal constructor is not yet removed from the API.

Solution

Remove the no-arg constructor by making it private.
