Given the following code:

public class Test {

 public void method(Object o){
  System.out.println("object");
 }

 public  void method(String s) {
  System.out.println("String");
 }

 public void method() {
  System.out.println("blank");
 }


 /**
  * @param args
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  Test test=new Test();
  test.method(null);

 }

}

Java prints "String". Why is this the case?
