Description Alex Blewitt

2015-06-19 05:19:28 EDT

There are some examples where new Boolean() is used in Platform.SWT. The static accessor Boolean.valueOf was added in Java 1.4 to provide access to a flyweight object where a unique identity is not required, and which can in-line in the JIT (object construction only in-lines when it can be proven that the object doesn't escape).
