Is constructor the only way to create the object of a class in JAVA?

Question

If a constructor is the only way to create the object of a class then how String name = "Java"; is able to create an object of String class even without using constructor.

There are at least two more ways:

1. Clone the object
2. Serialize and then deserialize object.

In this case Java uses string pool
