-------------------------------------

             Summary: EqualsBuilder methods append(Object[],Object[]) and 
append(Object,Object) treats array class dirrerently
                 Key: LANG-872
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-872
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: lang.builder.*
    Affects Versions: 3.1, 2.6
            Reporter: Algirdas Raščius
            Priority: Minor


Method {{EqualsBuilder.append(Object[],Object[])}} ignores classes of passed 
arrays and returns true if contents of both arrays are equal.
Method {{EqualsBuilder.append(Object,Object)}} returns false immediately if 
types of passed array arguments are different.

For example:
{code}
    public void testEqualsArrays() {
        Object[] aArray = new Object[] {"Value"};
        Object[] bArray = new String[] {"Value"};

        boolean compareAsArrays = new EqualsBuilder().append(aArray, 
bArray).isEquals();
        // compareAsArrays is true

        Object aObj  = aArray;
        Object bObj  = bArray;
        boolean compareAsObjects = new EqualsBuilder().append(aObj, 
bObj).isEquals();
        // compareAsObjects is false

        assertTrue(compareAsArrays == compareAsObjects); //Fails
    }
{code}

Results of both methods should be consistent.
