| Default behaviour for find TableItem associated to a TableViewer element [message #330317] |

Hi,
I'm using a TableViewer. Inside the TableViewer I place ArrayList objects.
I had a strange problem. After debugging a while I've discovered that
StructuredViewer#findItem(Object element) fails, it gives me the wrong
index for an element.
The cause is that instead of using reference equality, uses content
equality.
AbstractTableViewer#doFindItem()
So If I ask for the TableItem corresponding to an object whose index is 1,
it returns me the object whose index 0, when it has identical values.
I consider this default behaviour dangerous.
I have redefined the equals method of my ArrayList object:
@Override public boolean equals(Object o) {
return o == this;
}
and now it works ok.
What do the Eclipse experts think?

File a bug and attach a patch against HEAD with your proposed JavaDoc
comment.
