I wanted to ask why JAXB compares strings with the equals operator (==)
instead of the equals method. My understanding is that the equals method
only works when comparing the same object or 2 strings that have both been
initialized to the same value via the standard double quote initialization.
In this case, it appears that an initialized string is being compared to a
method parameter. Why would JAXB do it this way?

As an example please look at the leaveElement method at this link.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
