That depends on your definition of "construction".  The OP's code follows the 
idiom you're probably used to seeing, where the GUI is assembled, but that is 
not the same thing as object construction in the Java, or O-O sense.  So let's 
be precise in our terminology, shall we, and ask why one wouldn't assemble the 
_GUI_ in the _object_'s constructor?

The answer is what I said up front - it's a best practice not to do anything 
but construction (that's *object* construction, please avoid sophistry) in the 
object constructor.  Properly speaking, the assembly of the GUI in an object, 
like the frame holder portrayed by both the OP's and my examples, should occur 
only after the object, the frame holder, is fully constructed.

It was to show how one can translate that lip-service principle into practice 
that I presented the example.
