B-Object を作成できませんが、なぜですか?
public class AFactory {
    public int currentRange;
    private abstract class A {
        protected final Object range = currentRange;
        public int congreteRange = 28;
    }
    public class B extends A {
        public int congreteRange = 42;
    }
    synchronized A createNew(Class<? extends A> clazz) throws Exception {
        // EDIT: there is accessible default constructor
        currentRange = clazz.newInstance().congreteRange;
        return clazz.newInstance();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        AFactory factory = new AFactory();
        System.out.println(factory.createNew(B.class).range);
    }
}
例外は次のとおりです。
