Doesn't recognize string value?

Alright, so I was trying to code a simple command system but I ran into a problem along the way. I tried to do the code below. But even when commandBar was equal to exit it would print: Command Value: "exit". So I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

---

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            System.out.println("actionPerformed: " + e.getSource().toString());
        if(e.getSource() == commandEnter){
                String command = commandBar.getText();
                        if(command == "exit"){
                                dispose();
                                System.exit(0);
                        }else{
                                System.out.println("Command not recognized");
                        System.out.println("Command Value: \""+command+"\"\n");

                        }
        }else if(e.getSource() == exit){
                        dispose();
                        System.exit(0);
        }
}

Nevermind. I fixed it by doing the following for line 5:

Code:

---

                        if(command.equals("exit")){

Thanks anyways.
