## Constructor Details

### Equals

public Equals()

## Method Details

### setArg1

public void setArg1(Object arg1)
Set the first argument

Parameters:
  `arg1` - the first argument.
Since:
  Ant 1.8

### setArg1

public void setArg1(String arg1)
Set the first string

Parameters:
  `arg1` - the first string

### setArg2

public void setArg2(Object arg2)
Set the second argument

Parameters:
  `arg2` - the second argument.
Since:
  Ant 1.8

### setArg2

public void setArg2(String arg2)
Set the second string

Parameters:
  `arg2` - the second string

### setTrim

public void setTrim(boolean b)
Should we want to trim the arguments before comparing them?

Parameters:
  `b` - if true trim the arguments
Since:
  Ant 1.5

### setCasesensitive

public void setCasesensitive(boolean b)
Should the comparison be case sensitive?

Parameters:
  `b` - if true use a case sensitive comparison (this is the default)
Since:
  Ant 1.5

### setForcestring

public void setForcestring(boolean forcestring)
Set whether to force string comparisons for non-equal, non-string objects. This allows object properties (legal in Ant 1.8.x+) to be compared as strings.

Parameters:
  `forcestring` - value to set
Since:
  Ant 1.8.1

### eval

public boolean eval() throws BuildException
Description copied from interface: `Condition`
Is this condition true?

Specified by:
  `eval` in interface `Condition`
Returns:
  true if the two strings are equal
Throws:
  `BuildException` - if the attributes are not set correctly
