Henri Yandell commented on LANG-420:
------------------------------------

Yep, I can confirm. Also will be a problem in ArrayUtils, BooleanUtils, 
ReflectionToStringBuilder, CharUtils. 

equals(..) will be a problem in ObjectUtils and StringUtils. 

hashCode(..) will be a problem in ArrayUtils and ObjectUtils.

getClass(..) will be a problem in ClassUtils.

clone(..) will be a problem in ArrayUtils and SerializationUtils.

Work around - use the full invocation, ie: ObjectUtils.toString(...). I'm not 
sure we'll want to go renaming all of the above.

> Rename ObjectUtils.toString() to asString().

>                 Key: LANG-420
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-420
>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.3
>            Reporter: Stephen Kestle
>            Priority: Trivial
>             Fix For: LangTwo 1.0
>
>   Original Estimate: 0.5h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0.5h
>
> With Java 5 static method inlining, methods do not require class qualifying 
> *unless* the class already has the method.
> For this reason, ObjectUtlis.toString() cannot be inlined to toString(), as 
> Object has a toString() method.  
> It would be nice for it to have a name that could be statically imported, 
> such as asString.  This would follow the naming convention of Arrays.asList()
> Note that this DOES NOT need a java 5 version of lang.
