Re: Errr..

Long x = new Long(5);
String s;
s = x.toString(3);
s = Long.toString(3);

As you suggest, lines 3 and 4 are equivalent, BUT some Java compilers will produce a warning on line 3 indicating that line 4 is the preferred way of writing it. Personally I agree and no longer ever reference a static function without using only the Class name.

A static method can be invoked from anywhere the class is visible. If the class is not explicitly specified, then it searches the enclosing scopes looking for a suitable match. Instance method require an object instance to invoke including an implicit 'this'. BTW, you _can_ invoke a static using an object instance, the class used is the class of the instance.
