Java Does Not Equal (!=) Not Working?
<p>Here is my code snippet:</p>

<pre><code>public void joinRoom(String room) throws MulticasterJoinException {
  String statusCheck = this.transmit("room", "join", room + "," + this.groupMax + "," + this.uniqueID);

  if (statusCheck != "success") {
    throw new MulticasterJoinException(statusCheck, this.PAppletRef);
  }
}
</code></pre>

<p>However for some reason, <code>if (statusCheck != "success")</code> is returning <code>false</code>, and thereby throwing the <code>MulticasterJoinException</code>.</p>
