Description

import java.text.DecimalFormat

df = new DecimalFormat()

println df.format(1)

throws
Caught: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Ambiguous method overloading for method java.text.DecimalFormat#format.
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for

{class java.lang.Integer}

due to overlapping prototypes between:

{double} {long}

Very good error message
But it should choose the metyhod which takes long.
