The end of section 5.1.7

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/conversions.html#5.1.=
7

says:

"If the value p being boxed is true, false, a byte, a char in the
range \u0000 to \u007f, or an int or short number between -128 and
127, then let r1 and r2 be the results of any two boxing conversions
of p. It is always the case that r1 =3D=3D r2."

[See also subsequent discussion section]

AFAIK, boxing uses valueOf to achieve this.
