Object	clone()
boolean	equals(boolean b)
boolean	equals(float f)
boolean	equals(int i)
boolean	equals(Object o) Does equal only on the value object -- perhaps this is not correct but you will be able to treat this almost as if you were dealing with the value itself when you are dealing with this proxy object
boolean	getBooleanValue()
int	getIntValue()
String	getStringValue() Returns whatever value it has cast to string
Object	getValue()
void	setValue(boolean v)
void	setValue(int v)
void	setValue(Object o)
String	toString()
boolean	valueEquals(Object o)
protected void	valueModified() This method is in here in case any of the children of this class ever tried to be a bean or something and needed to perform some action when value gets modified.
