It is supported in jdk1.3.. Just cast the stringbuffer passed in to
an object, so like
StringBuffer.append((Object) StringBuffer)). Much more efficient than
an if...
Surely a StringBuffer is already an Object?
Or am I missing something here?
StringBuffer has a new method in Java 1.4 to append another Stringbuffer
without invoking it's toSring() method.
Code that uses StringBuffer.append(stb) and compiled by a JDK 1.4 will
not work on Java 1.3.
I miself recommand Using "StringBuffer.append(stb.toString())" that
looks better than an apparently useless (Object) cast : checkstyle or
IDE may warn for unecessary cast.
