Hi,
In classpath-0.05, Method.equals() is described this way:
/**
* Compare two objects to see if they are semantically equivalent.
* Two Methods are semantically equivalent if they have the same declaring
* class, name, and parameter list. This ignores different exception
* clauses or return types.
*
* @param o the object to compare to
* @return <code>true</code> if they are equal; <code>false</code> if not
*/
public boolean equals(Object o)
{
....
}
Howver, this contradicts the JDK 1.4 docs, which say that the method's
return type must also be equal:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/Method.html#equals(java.lang.Object)
Is this a classpath bug?
Thanks,
-Archie
