How to check for object equals new object instance?
===

I am using a new Account() object for the default value of a jcombobox. I have a button which deletes the selected object in the jcombobox, however, if this is the default I don't want any action taken. I am not sure how to check if the selected one is the default.

How do you check for new Object(). equals (new Object()), because I know that doesn't work.
Or should I be doing something else like holding a boolean variable as long as the selected is default?

Thanks in advance.
