Class java.lang.Boolean 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----java.lang.Boolean
public final class Boolean
extends Object
The Boolean class provides an object wrapper for Boolean data values, and serves as a place for boolean-oriented operations. A wrapper is useful because most of Java's utility classes require the use of objects. Since booleans are not objects in Java, they need to be "wrapped" in a Boolean instance.
