I don't remember now where is it, but it is possible to see the implementation of that overloading.
Don't make the idea of a toString() method applied to every Object operand because it is also applicable to primitive types an

null

Objects so it isn't the same

System.out.println("testing: "+obj);

than

System.out.println("testing: "+obj.toString());

because in the first case it will print "testing: null" if obj is

null

but in the second case it will throw a NullPointerException
