Bug 283359 [Browser] WebBrowserEditorInput#equals(Object) is wrong
Reported: 2009-07-13 22:24:40 | Status: resolved fixed

Build ID: 3.2.201.v20080708_34x Steps To Reproduce: Looking at the WebBrowserEditorInput#equals(Object) method in 3.2.201.v20080708_34x version of the org.eclipse.ui.browser (similarly in the head), there are few issues: 1) The javadoc is wrong, and it doesn't make sense. 2) The line: if (url != null && !url.equals(obj)) should be if (url != null && !url.equals(other.url)) For reference, I'm pasting the contents of the equals method: /** * Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. In this case * it means that the underlying IFolders are equal. */ public boolean equals(Object obj) { if (this == obj) return true; if (!(obj instanceof WebBrowserEditorInput)) return false; WebBrowserEditorInput other = (WebBrowserEditorInput) obj; if (url != null && !url.equals(obj)) return false; return canReplaceInput(other); } More information:
