Does anyone know why you can reference a `static` method in the first line of the constructor using `this()` or `super()`, but not a non-static method?

Consider the following working:

```
public class TestWorking{
    private A a = null;
    public TestWorking(A aParam){
       this.a = aParam;
    }

    public TestWorking(B bParam)
    {
        this(TestWorking.getAFromB(bParam));
    }

    //It works because its marked static.
    private static A getAFromB(B param){
        A a = new A();
        a.setName(param.getName());
        return a;
    }
}

```

And the following Non-Working example:

```
public class TestNotWorking{
    private A a = null;
    public TestNotWorking(A aParam){
       this.a = aParam;
    }

    public TestNotWorking(B bParam)
    {
        this(this.getAFromB(bParam));
    }

    //This does not work. WHY???
    private A getAFromB(B param){
        A a = new A();
        a.setName(param.getName());
        return a;
    }
}

```
