[Biojava-l] FundamentalAtomicSymbol Not Transferable?

[hz5 at njit.edu]

Hi all,
It seems that using a HashSet to create a symbollist can only validate the very 
symbols in the HashSet, if I create a new Symbol using the same name and 
annotation, the symbollist cannot validate it because the it is a new object 
than the one in the HashSet.

I encountered this problem in the following situation:
I make a DragableJLabel draggable, and upon drop, it transfer a 
FundamentalAtomicSymbol(extend it to implement transferrable) to a 
DropableJPanel. Before transfer, I can show that the FundamentalAtomicSymbol 
belongs to a simpleAlphabet(simpleAlphabet.contains(myFundamentalAtomicSymbol) 
returns true), but after transfer, the contains method of the same 
simpleAlphabet returns false. This make it impossible for drag and drop to 
using symbols to build symbolLists.

Any ideas how to solve this?
