Re: StringResourceModel toString() changed in Beta4 - why??? Must use getString() now.

[Johan Compagner <jc...@gmail.com>]

I will change the javadoc.
The toString() method can't return the string, because for that we need a
lot of state internally and that
state isn't there always when toString() is called (especially in debugging)
So we did get exceptions that things wheren't set and so on.

Also toString is just for debugging except in java for a few String and
primitive Object cases.
