Description

with JSR 05 I get an error when calling:
println new java.text.DecimalFormat().format(23)

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:

{long} {double}

I have the workaround to call
println new java.text.DecimalFormat().format(23 as long)
but I don't like this very much.
An int fits perfectly in a long, so there shouldn't be any disambiguity
between long, double.
