Description
The findbugs warning indicates an error while comparing/merging property values:
PropertySourceChangeBuilder.java:102, EC_UNRELATED_TYPES, Priority: High Call to org.apache.tamaya.spi.PropertyValue.equals(String) in org.apache.tamaya.events.PropertySourceChangeBuilder.compare(PropertySource, PropertySource) This method calls equals(Object) on two references of different class types and analysis suggests they will be to objects of different classes at runtime. Further, examination of the equals methods that would be invoked suggest that either this call will always return false, or else the equals method is not be symmetric (which is a property required by the contract for equals in class Object).
It's not really clear whether values or entry keys need to be compared here, but its definitely wrong to compare String to PropertyValue at line 102 and 110.
