According to the JDK source code, (and associated documentation)
they are identical except for the return values:
/**
* Adds the specified component to the end of this vector,
* increasing its size by one. The capacity of this vector is
* increased if its size becomes greater than its capacity. <p>
*
* This method is identical in functionality to the add(Object) method
* (which is part of the List interface).
*
* @param obj the component to be added.
* @see #add(Object)
* @see List
*/
public synchronized void addElement(Object obj) {
modCount++;
ensureCapacityHelper(elementCount + 1);
elementData[elementCount++] = obj;
}
/**
* Appends the specified element to the end of this Vector.
*
* @param o element to be appended to this Vector.
* @return true (as per the general contract of Collection.add).
* @since JDK1.2
*/
public synchronized boolean add(Object o) {
modCount++;
ensureCapacityHelper(elementCount + 1);
elementData[elementCount++] = o;
return true;
}
