Tomáš Mrázek commented on LANG-1386:
------------------------------------
SO answer does provide easy workaround, but that's no longer true for Java 9
and higher, where Boolean constructor is deprecated. Static alternative
Boolean.valueOf() does raise ambiguous errors. We can use deprecated object
constructor or primitive constructor. Either way there is no need for keeping
both method calls. Autoboxing was introduced in Java 1.5, so removing primitive
or object method call for and / xor / or operations would break backwards
compatibility for Java 1.4 and lower.
