Objects.toString [Re: What methods should go into a java.util.Objects class in JDK 7?]

[Jason Mehrens]

Joe,

 

I'll volunteer some "find usage" stats from the code base I work on for a living:

565 ObjectUtils.toString(Object) calls.

487 String.valueOf(Object) calls.

 

Hopefully others can contribute their "find usage" stats.  It seems to me that both behaviors are useful.

 

Jason
