- ## Method Details

  - ### setArg1

    public void setArg1(Object arg1)
    Set the first argument
    Parameters:
      `arg1` - the first argument.
    Since:
      Ant 1.8

  - ### setArg1

    public void setArg1(String arg1)
    Set the first string
    Parameters:
      `arg1` - the first string

  - ### setArg2

    public void setArg2(Object arg2)
    Set the second argument
    Parameters:
      `arg2` - the second argument.
    Since:
      Ant 1.8

  - ### setArg2

    public void setArg2(String arg2)
    Set the second string
    Parameters:
      `arg2` - the second string

  - ### setTrim

    public void setTrim(boolean b)
    Should we want to trim the arguments before comparing them?
    Parameters:
      `b` - if true trim the arguments
    Since:
      Ant 1.5

  - ### setCasesensitive

    public void setCasesensitive(boolean b)
    Should the comparison be case sensitive?
    Parameters:
      `b` - if true use a case sensitive comparison (this is the default)
    Since:
      Ant 1.5

  - ### setForcestring

    public void setForcestring(boolean forcestring)
    Set whether to force string comparisons for non-equal, non-string objects. This allows object properties (legal in Ant 1.8.x+) to be compared as strings.
    Parameters:
      `forcestring` - value to set
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.1

  - ### eval

    public boolean eval() throws BuildException
    Description copied from interface: `Condition`
    Is this condition true?
    Specified by:
      `eval` in interface `Condition`
    Returns:
      true if the two strings are equal
    Throws:
      `BuildException` - if the attributes are not set correctly
