DefaultJavaMethod#equals incorrect code
---------------------------------------

                 Key: QDOX-232
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/QDOX-232
             Project: QDox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java API
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Freewind


public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (obj == null) return false;
        JavaMethod m = (JavaMethod) obj;

        if (m.isConstructor() != isConstructor()) return false;

        if (m.getName() == null) return (getName() == null); // this line(215) 
is incorrect
        if (!m.getName().equals(getName())) return false;
        
        if (m.getReturns() == null) return (getReturns() == null); // THIS 
line(218) is incorrect


They should be: 

    if(m.getName()==null && getName()!=null) return false;

and 

    if(m.getReturns()==null && getReturns()!=null) return false;

Otherwise, if two methods with same name and return type but different 
parameters will return true, which is incorrect.

Maybe other `equals` have same issue. I think it's a good idea to provide a 
helper method to check, e.g.:

    public static boolean eq(Object obj1, Object obj2) {
        return obj1==obj2 || (obj1!=null && obj1.equals(obj2);
    }

    if(!eq(m.getName(), getName()) return false;
    if(!eq(m.getReturns(), getReturns()) return false;
