>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.6

>             Fix For: 2.4.8

>
> It appears that comparing two objects that both implement comparable with DefaultTypeTransformation#compareEqual is not safe in all cases. Consider enums for example, which throw exceptions when compared to differing classes. 
> This is using Eclipse Collections for pairs but the idea is the same in general. 
> {code}
>     enum E1 {A, B, C}
>     enum E2 {D, E, F}
>     def "test groovy oddness"() {
>         when:
>         def test = DefaultTypeTransformation.compareEqual(
>             Tuples.pair(E1.A, 1), 
>             Tuples.pair(E2.D, 1))
>         then:
>         assert test == false
>     }
> {code}
> Stacktrace
> {code}
> java.lang.ClassCastException
> 	at java.lang.Enum.compareTo(Enum.java:180)
> 	at java.lang.Enum.compareTo(Enum.java:55)
> 	at org.eclipse.collections.impl.tuple.PairImpl.compareTo(PairImpl.java:95)
