int is not more specific. int is not a subtype of Object. In Java (and in the JVM) there is not a "top" type (that is, a type which is a supertype of every other type). This was, I believe, a design mistake, but we can't do anything about it. Alessio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
