compare DisplayName doesn´t work

This following code shell check whether the thing a player consumes has a special displayed name:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.NORMAL)
  public void onPlayerDrinks(PlayerItemConsumeEvent e) {
  Player p = e.getPlayer();
  if(e.getItem().getItemMeta() == null || e.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() == null){
  return;
  }
  ItemMeta meta = e.getItem().getItemMeta();
  String name = meta.getDisplayName();
  if(name == "§bBier") {
      p.sendMessage("erfolgreich");
      p.sendMessage(name);
      }
  else {
      p.sendMessage("fail");
      p.sendMessage(name);  //for debugging
      p.sendMessage("§bBier");
  }
         
  }

the message name (= the DisplayName is exactly the same then the message "§bBier" (the name a search for), but I get the message fail, so the names same not to be the same.
I really don´t know why.

 

Change

Code:java

if(name == "§bBier"){

to

Code:java

if(name.equalsIgnoreCase("§bBier")){

 

thank you now it works. But why didn´t it work before?

 

Because equalsIgnoreCase is made specifically for comparing strings
