But then "" does not help as you have said yourself earlier: that object 
would be of the wrong java.lang.String class as well so Stefan's point 
of ensuring to use the correct (i.e. original) java.lang.String via the 
empty string constant does not work.  That only works if you create a 
String class in a different package which is then used in the scope.

Just to repeat myself: I still find that whole approach to use an 
instance to invoke a static method wrong.  I have yet to see a 
compelling reason to do so.

Kind regards
