       Body:
also Resource comparison would be useful too : relaxEquals() may return true if <includes> dont match and conflict may return true if <includes> of the resource being compared and the <excludes> of the parameter overlap. 


Another useful shortcut would methods to directly tell if an artifact or a resource is already present in pom (with a parameter to specify the level of confidence : strict/relax/conflict ?).

Description:
1. artifacts
in mevenide to synchronize pom with ide we need to display artifacts if they are not already added to ide (and vice-versa). for that purpose we need to have a comparison mechanism. so a equals() method is needed, but also other utility methods like (non exhaustive) : 

o myArtifact.conflicts(myOtherArtifact) and
o myArtifact.relaxEquals(myOtherArtifact)

f.i. conflicts would return true if same groupId and sameAritfactId but incompatible version, relaxEquals would return true if version is compatible, etc.. (just some quick thoughts)

2. directories 
although not as needed as artifact comparison it would be util to have utility to compare a Resource with a given path that might be relative or to ${basedir} or absolute.
