When I make parameterized constructors, I create an empty constructor as well.
In the empty constructor, should I always make the super () call? Because? (Take into account, that my class is just a JavaBean.)
Empty constructor without super () call

It is always necessary to initialize the instance with the object construct in full, ie the upper class needs to be built, and so you have to call super() . If this is not done explicitly in the constructor, the compiler does it for you. Even for Objects . You only need to do it manually if you have a reason. One is when the parent class does not have a default constructor.
Specifically this point is independent of whether or not Beans. Beans has other requirements.

In Java, every class necessarily needs to call a constructor from its superclass, this being the first command inside the constructor.
Even if a class does not extend any other classes directly, then the super() of Object will be called anyway.
super() in a constructor, the Java compiler implicitly adds a call to the superclass constructor with no parameters.
This occurs in the same way that the compiler also adds a default constructor, without parameters, when you explicitly declare no constructor.
If the superclass does not have a parameterless constructor, then the compiler forces you to call any of the constructors using super .
