Hello,
I've defined a class which, of course, silently extends
java.lang.Object, but I've added some my own attributes. Now I want to
be able to compare two objects of my class i.e. to check if they are
identical. Do I need to write my own equals() method or can I use the
inherited java.lang.Object.equals() method?
MR
