1. Set fields with instrospection - Problem with String.valueOf(String)    stackoverflow.com

I'm setting public fields of the Object 'this' via reflection. Both the field name and the value are given as String. I use several various field types: Boolean, Integer, Float, Double, ...

2. String valueOf vs concatenation with empty string    stackoverflow.com

3. ""+x versus String.valueOf(x)    coderanch.com

A while ago I wandered about the same problem and did some searching around. The conclusion was not using x + "". Both String.valueOf(x) and Integer.toString(x) where considered equally good, while the first one is more consistent for different types and the second one is slightly more readable. So we settled for String.valueOf(x).

5. importance of String.valueOf(Object)    coderanch.com

But then why have String String.valueOf(int i); String String.valueOf(long l); but then not: String String.valueOf(short s); If asked in an interview I would have to answer the reason is that operations on a "long" are not ...

9. String valueOf(1.0E-4) is not 0.0001    forums.oracle.com

Well, I did try it, and it seemed doing what I wanted with one exception: If the number looks like an integer, for example 10, I would like my valueOf method to return 10.0 as the String.valueOf method does.
