a quick question about String

[Raffaello Giulietti]

Hello,

the simple answer is that
	new String(...) == new String(...)
*never* evaluates to true )it might throw, though), whatever 
constructors you are using and whatever arguments you pass to to them.

Some garbage collectors *might* de-duplicate the underlying arrays (but 
you cannot tell), but the references to the Strings will be different.
