Since arrays do not override ``++Object.equals()++``, calling equals on two arrays is the same as comparing their addresses. This means that ``++array1.equals(array2)++`` is equivalent to ``++array1==array2++``.
However, some developers might expect ``++Array.equals(Object obj)++`` to do more than a simple memory address comparison, comparing for instance the size and content of the two arrays. To prevent such a misunderstanding, the '==' operator or ``++Arrays.equals(array1, array2)++`` must always be used in place of the ``++Array.equals(Object obj)++`` method.
