Henri Yandell commented on LANG-420:
------------------------------------
I think this should be WONTFIX as there is no ObjectUtils.toString().
> 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
> 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.
