Attributes

Remarks

Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entries e1 and e2 represent the same mapping if

(e1.getKey()==null ?
                 e2.getKey()==null : e1.getKey().equals(e2.getKey()))  &amp;&amp;
                (e1.getValue()==null ?
                 e2.getValue()==null : e1.getValue().equals(e2.getValue()))

This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map.Entry interface.
