Java constructor return a value but, what?

No. Java constructor cannot return a value. If required, just create a method which calls the required constructor and returns the required value. See the example below.

public class Tester {
   public Tester(){}
   public static Tester getInstance(){
      Tester tester = new Tester();
       return tester;
   }
}
