Q:

Using 'this' keyword in Java constructors

I am confused with the this keyword in Java. If a class has two constructors and we use the this keyword in some method, the object represented by this is instantiated using which of the two constructors?

A:

You have to distinguish between this. and this(), so to speak:
Most of the time, you use this as the reference to the current object, i.e. the reference of this object is replaced at runtime for this. For instance, if you use this as parameter or reference this.someMember.
You can have different constructors with different parameters, i.e. overload constructors. At the beginning of a constructor, you can call a different constructor by using this(parameter_1, ... parameter_n); as first instruction.
A nice explanation of both cases can be found at the java tutorial about the this keyword.

A:

It doesn't care and is indistinguishable 
It is somewhat like building a car.
Depending on the features an other constructor is used,
but in the end you have a car (this)

A:

The this keyword has two meaning and the confusion could be around these two meanings.
In the constructor, this(...) is like a method call for constructors.  The compiler chooses which constructor to call based on the number and types of the arguments you use.
When you use this as a reference, it means this object, and which constructor was used is not important.
