Duncan Jones commented on LANG-872:
-----------------------------------

Having said that... {{java.util.Arrays.deepEquals()}} and 
{{java.util.Arrays.equals()}} would also state that the arrays are equal. Not 
what I would expect, but that would suggest the commons-lang implementation is 
not unusual.
                
> EqualsBuilder methods append(Object[],Object[]) and append(Object,Object) 
> treats array class dirrerently

> 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.
