Hello there! I have been using the Commons Lang library for about two years, but this is my first post to the mailing list.
Starting with release 3.2, ObjectUtils.toString(Object) was deprecated in favour of java.util.Objects.toString(Object), see <http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.2/org/apache/commons/lang3/ObjectUtils.html>. As the Javadoc comment correctly points out, to preserve the current behavior, one cannot simply replace ObjectUtils.toString(foo) with Objects.toString(foo), but would need to call Objects.toString(foo, ""), which is less concise and less readable. I agree that other methods in ObjectUtils, namely - toString(Object, String) - equals(Object, Object) - hashCode(Object) - hashCodeMulti(Object...) are now superfluous and rightfully deprecated, but why deprecate a useful method when there is no direct substitute?
