>Description:

Concatenation of String and int 0 is wrong.

Consider this program :

> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

public class Test
{

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    System.out.println("Test");
    System.out.println(""+0);
    System.out.println(""+1);
  }
}

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I would expect the output to be :

Test
0
1

, but this is what i get :

Test

1
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile Test.java
> gcj --main=Test Test.java -o test
Run test
> ./test

It outputs :
Test

1
