It sorts just fine, although it (of course) takes abit more syntax than <insert your favorite scripting language>.

      List list = new ArrayList();
 
      list.add("abc");
      list.add("DEF");
      list.add("ghi");
 
      // standard sort
 
      Collections.sort(list);
I agree that equals and compareTo methods are ugly. I also don't like primitives in Java. It's still an OK language, though I prefer a (READ: my favorite) scripting language over it.

== is used to checking if two variables refrence the same object instance, hence it can't be used to compare the content of the object. I'd like it to though.
