[jdom-interest] Using equals()

[Paul_Ramsden at arburg.com]

Hello all! I just picked up JDOM and it looks really useful - great work!

A question. Should the following be true or false...

        String n = "Name";
        String v = "Value";
        Attribute a1 = new Attribute( n, v );
        Attribute a2 = new Attribute( n, v );

        System.out.println(a1.toString()+":"+a2.toString());

        System.out.println("Same content? " + (a1.equals(a2)) );

I thought it should be true but I'm getting false. Have I forgotten something?
(BTW: a1.equals( a1 ) is true)

Thanks
Paul Ramsden
