Returns true if the specified object represents an annotation that is logically equivalent to this one. In other words, returns true if the specified object is an instance of the same annotation type as this instance, all of whose members are equal to the corresponding member of this annotation, as defined below:
x and y are considered equal if x == y,
unless their type is float or double.
float members whose values
are x and y are considered equal if
Float.valueOf(x).equals(Float.valueOf(y)).
(Unlike the == operator, NaN is considered equal
to itself, and 0.0f unequal to -0.0f.)
double members whose values
are x and y are considered equal if
Double.valueOf(x).equals(Double.valueOf(y)).
(Unlike the == operator, NaN is considered equal
to itself, and 0.0 unequal to -0.0.)
String, Class, enum, or
annotation typed members whose values are x and y
are considered equal if x.equals(y). (Note that this
definition is recursive for annotation typed members.)
x and y
are considered equal if Arrays.equals(x, y), for the
appropriate overloading of java.util.Arrays.equals.
obj | the reference object with which to compare. |
