Hello!

For some reason, I can not properly compare a string to an enum, even when
there is supposed to be a match:

I declare the enum as follows:

private enum Currency {
 USD ("USDAM3L", "US"),
 EUR ("EURAB6E", "DE"),
 GBP ("GBPSB6L", "GB");

 String swapsymbol, ricroot;

 Currency(String _swapsymbol, String _ricroot)
 {
  swapsymbol = _swapsymbol;
  ricroot = _ricroot;
 }
}

I then run through it as:

String swapsymbol = null;
for (Currency currency : Currency.values()) {
 if (bond.currency.equals(currency)) {
  swapsymbol = currency.swapsymbol;
  break;
 } else {
  System.err.println(">" + currency + "< did not match >"
      + bond.currency + "<");
 }
}
if (swapsymbol == null) {
 System.exit(0);
 throw new Exception("Can not find swap-symbol " +
     "for currency " + bond.currency);
}

This results in the following output:

As you can see, it failed to notice, that "EUR" equals "EUR" for some
reason. Can anyone, please, help? Thanks!
