Scanning Methods

I'm trying to write an annotation processor that generates some new source files. As a matter of safety, unless the class I'm scanning was also generated by this annotation processor, I want to issue a warning when I encounter methods that have the same signature as the methods I generate.

I've gotten to the point where I can iterate over all of the methods in the class, and I have retrieved Name objects for them, but when I try to match the name with a string containing the same content, the comparison fails. I've been using Name.contentEquals(CharSequence)

.

When I replace this check with a for loop that iterates over the full length of both the string I've been comparing with, and the Name object, the characters all match.

Any idea why the name match fails, and is there a better/faster way to check if a method's signature might conflict with one you plan on generating?

Thanks,
