[rules-users] About String..."==" same as ".equals"?

most (if not all) of my rules will have conditions like this: Object(variable == Constants.value) this is not working... BUT if i change the Constants.value to corresponding value from the constants class it will work... is there any other way other than this Object(a:variable-> (a.equals(Constants.value)) to do it?
