@Jens-G
IMO this is a valid use case but it is not necessarily a great idea because
in general its not very user friendly to design an API that clashes names in
java.lang.* ... it is even more complicated in Thrift because other languages
may also have constructs called "Object" (javascript for example). There is
not a Java-specific technical reason why this shouldn't be allowed however.
That said, there is a related JIRA, not exactly the same problem because
java.lang classes do not require import statements, but the idea is the same:
