Sorry, of course you are correct.

But Boolean.valueOf did exist in 1.4. You could fix it to use valueOf
for autoboxing
booleans.

The issue comes up because FindBugs complains about using the Boolean
constructor, and
there were places in FindBugs where we used autoboxing of a boolean. As
a result,
when we switched from the JSR14 adapter to using -target jsr14, we
started getting
warnings in our own code, which we try to avoid.

At any rate, not a big deal.
