#1282 False Positive with implicit String.valuesOf() (Java)

[Morten Bøgeskov]

When testing this class:

:::java
package com.mycompany.mavenproject1;

import java.io.IOException;

public class NewClass {

    public void falsePositive(Boolean b) throws IOException {
        System.out.write(( "" + b ).getBytes());
    }
}

You get this result

pmd-bin-5.2.1/bin/run.sh pmd -d src/main/java/ -f text -R java-basic,java-design
/tmp/mavenproject1/src/main/java/com/mycompany/mavenproject1/NewClass.java:8:   Useless parentheses.

However the parentheses are needed.

Will be fixed with the next version.
