Hi, I have a quick question regarding the use of constants in Apache Commons - in some classes/interfaces like org.apache.commons.lang.math.NumberUtils some constants are defined using wrapper types and not primitive types. What are the reasons for this?
The background of my question is that I am doing some research on binary vs source compatibility in Java. One such issue is constant inlining, and I try to find out whether engineers consciously use wrapper types to prevent inlining.
