Defaults does not handle the non-primitive class of a privitive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Example:

Boolean v1 = Defaults.defaultValue(boolean.class);
v1 != null;

Boolean v2 = Defaults.defaultValue(Boolean.class);
v2 == null;

This is intentional. As stated in the Javadoc, Defaults returns the default 
value for a type as defined by the JLS. It's the same value that a field of the 
given type would be initialized to if not initialized to something else. For 
all reference types, including primitive wrappers, this is null.
