Constructor not working (init NOT found...)

I have what must be the ultimate newbie question....  My 'object' class is
not finding the class constructor I expected, with either an empty explicit
constructor or a String parameter as the primary constructor.  Here are the
class, object and output.

Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong?  I'm using the eclipse plugin, if that
matters.

thanks,
Damon

I'm running scala-2.7.1.final.

I have also run using the eclipse plugin 2.7.2RC1 and 2.7.3RC1, which may
have their own internal scala distros (and a couple quirks about when they
rebuild classes, it seems).

I have stumbled beyond the problem, though still don't fully understand the
issue. I renamed the object to "Helloo" and added an explicit import of
misc.Hello (the class) to misc.Heloo (the object).

IIUC in order for an object to serve as a "companion object" to a
class they should be defined in the same source file. In your case
the class's default constructor *should* be public, but without having
read the spec, I'd recommend avoiding defining classes and objects
with the same name in *different* files.
