I would probably loose the plural to indicate an array.

I would expand M0 to Msb0 which itself is an acronym. Abbreviating an
acronym is to mysterious to me.

So I'd end up with:

boolBeMsb0ToHexDigit(boolean[] src)

instead of:

boolsBeM0ToHexDigit(boolean[] src)

I would use real examples in the Javadoc:

     * <p>
     * (true, false, false, false) is converted as follow: '8' ...

instead of:

     * <p>
     * (1, 0, 0, 0) is converted as follow: '8' ...

and use [ ] instead of ( ) to show an array

my 2c,

Gary
