Description Frank W. Ball CLA 2002-11-20 08:31:35 EST 
The following code which compiles successfully under Sun's 1.4 JDK gets a
'Cannot cast from String to Object' compile error in nightly 2.1 build N20021119:

package test;

public class CastTest {

	public void test(Object o) {

	}

	public void test(String s) {

		test((Object)s);
	}
}

Fixed, this was a mistake never officially released. 
Note that by taking nightly builds you are willing to live dangerously.

Thanks for the information anyway.
