Using Java 2 Collections how can I compare (the code to) two String arrays
That is I have the follwiing:-
String[] a1={"man","cow","foot","mouth"};
String[] a2={"man","cow","foot","mouth"};
How would I be able to compare these two and say that
they contain identical Strings?(using Java2 collections and using containsAll)

The Arrays class has an equals() method that will check for equality of elements. If you want to use containsAll() in case order doesn't matter, then call containsAll() on both arrays.
