For me it's personal preference, but for some technical rationale: -

If you don't provide sufficient information to the constructor:
1) You get half-baked objects
2) Every real (non-init()) method now has to check "Has init() run? Am I 
complete?"
3) If using setters, how do you enforce that they are called in the 
correct order?

Most importantly, Why the hell do you think Java (and all other OO 
languages) support arguments to constructors and overloading in the 
first place??? Do you think the authors have been wasting their time or 
providing redundant technology all these years?

So let me ask you "Why do you want to use setters or an init() method?"

Cheers Richard Maher
