mock question doubt about "autoboxing" - objective 3.1

[adam Lui]

Question taken from SCJP exam guide, page 272 chapter 3...Given:

1.class Convert {
2.public static void main (String[] args) {
3.Long xL = new Long(456L);
4. long x1 = Long.valueOf("123");
5.Long x2 = Long.valueOf("123");
6.long x3 = xL.longValue();
7.Long x4 = xL.parseLong();
8.Long x5 = Long.parseLong("456");
9. long x6 = Long.parseLong("123");
10.}
11.}

which will compile using Java 5, but will NOT compile using Java 1.4?
Answers are - Line 4, Line 7 and Line 8. "Becuase of the methods return types, these method calls required autoboxing to compile."

I am not sure wat to do with autoboxing to compile the code?

clue:
remember what is autoboxing.
notice what those methods or constructor calls returns? (primitives/objects)
notice the corresponding reference variable type.
