isEqualTo

public boolean isEqualTo(Property property)

Compares two VectorProperty objects. It returns true if the two are identical VectorProperty objects; false, otherwise.

Overrides:

isEqualTo in class Property

Parameters:

property - the property to compare

Returns:

true if the two are identical VectorProperty objects; false, otherwise.
