Have you considered rephrasing the reference to constructors in the `valueOf` methods?:

     * If a new {@code Byte} instance is not required, this method
     * should generally be used in preference to the constructor
     * {@link #Byte(byte)}

The message now is "Don't use the constructors! Don't try to get a new instance!"
