Hi Jordan,
I've never come across any reason
why <code>equals()</code> isn't overridden in <code>StringBuffer</code>; just that it isn't.
Not much help, I know
... you just need to remember that <code>
String</code> and the Wrapper classes overload <code>equals()</code> and that <code>StringBuffer</code> doesn't.
