[Advanced-java] Odd question

[Pollard@xxxxxxxxx (Pollard, Jim)]

just using str.equals("abc") is all you need to do in almost all cases where
someone would want to do this at all.  in the other cases (like creating a
Parser), you'd create a String factory that returns a reference to the same
String object in every case that someone is creating a String with the same
letters.
