/**
* Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

* The <code>equals</code> method implements an equivalence relation
* on non-null object references:
* <ul>
* <li>It is <i>reflexive</i>: for any non-null reference value
* <code>x</code>, <code>x.equals(x)</code> should return
* <code>true</code>.
* <li>It is <i>symmetric</i>: for any non-null reference values
* <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>, <code>x.equals(y)</code>
* should return <code>true</code> if and only if
* <code>y.equals(x)</code> returns <code>true</code>.
* <li>It is <i>transitive</i>: for any non-null reference values
* <code>x</code>, <code>y</code>, and <code>z</code>, if
* <code>x.equals(y)</code> returns <code>true</code> and
* <code>y.equals(z)</code> returns <code>true</code>, then
* <code>x.equals(z)</code> should return <code>true</code>.
* <li>It is <i>consistent</i>: for any non-null reference values
* <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>, multiple invocations of
* <tt>x.equals(y)</tt> consistently return <code>true</code>
* or consistently return <code>false</code>, provided no
* information used in <code>equals</code> comparisons on the
* objects is modified.
* <li>For any non-null reference value <code>x</code>,
* <code>x.equals(null)</code> should return <code>false</code>.
* </ul>
* <p>
* The <tt>equals</tt> method for class <code>Object</code> implements
* the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects;
* that is, for any non-null reference values <code>x</code> and
* <code>y</code>, this method returns <code>true</code> if and only
* if <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> refer to the same object
* (<code>x == y</code> has the value <code>true</code>).
* <p>
* Note that it is generally necessary to override the <tt>hashCode</tt>
* method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the
* general contract for the <tt>hashCode</tt> method, which states
* that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
*
* @param obj the reference object with which to compare.
* @return <code>true</code> if this object is the same as the obj
* argument; <code>false</code> otherwise.
* @see #hashCode()
* @see java.util.Hashtable
