Is Path object equals to DirectoryEntry object?

[Rajendra Gutupalli]

Hi Alan,

I noticed path.equals(directory entry object) returning true when path 
and directory entry objects represents same file.
Please see the following code where c:\\testfolder contains only one 
file ie. 'onefile'.  Could you please let me know whether the observed 
behavior satisfies the spec
where it says "If the given object is not a Path, or is a Path 
associated with a different provider, then this method immediately 
returns false.".

import java.nio.file.*;

public class TestEquals {
    public static void main(String... args) throws Exception{
        final Path path = Paths.get("c:\\testfolder\\onefile");
        Path start = Paths.get("c:\\testfolder");
        DirectoryStream ds = start.newDirectoryStream("*");
        for (DirectoryEntry  de :ds){
            System.out.println("Path object ~ DirectoryEntry object ->" 
+path.equals(de));           
        }
    }
}

when run:
Path object ~ DirectoryEntry object ->true

Thanks
Rajendra.
