How to compare two Items unlocalized names - minecraft

Question

Title sounds like a stupid question at first but this is baffeling me and I couldn't think of a concise way to put it.
Anyways, here is the code I am using:
public class OreSword extends ItemSword{
public OreSword(SWORDTYPES sword)
{
super(sword.getMaterial());
setUnlocalizedName(RefStrings.MODID + "_" + sword.getName());
setTextureName(RefStrings.MODID + ":" + sword.getName());
//setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabCombat);
sword.setSword(this);
}
public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack sword, EntityLivingBase target, EntityLivingBase self)
{
System.out.println("this is my override");
sword.damageItem(1, self);
if(sword.getUnlocalizedName() == SWORDTYPES.COAL.getSword().getUnlocalizedName())
{
System.out.println("this is my sword");
target.setFire(100);
}
return true;
}
public static enum SWORDTYPES
{
COAL("CoalSword", 1, 131, 4.0F, 1.0F, 5),
DIAMOND("DiamondSword", 3, 1200, 8.0F, 3.0F, 30),
EMERALD("EmeraldSword", 3, 2300, 8.0F, 4.0F, 10),
GOLD("GoldSword", 0, 25, 10.0F, 1.0F, 12),
IRON("IronSword", 2, 131, 6.0F, 2.0F, 14),
LAPIS("LapisSword", 1, 131, 4.0F, 1.0F, 44),
QUARTZ("QuartzSword", 3, 131, 8.0F, 3.0F, 10),
REDSTONE("RedstoneSword", 2, 131, 6.0F, 2.0F, 14);
private String name;
/*private int hLevel;
private int mUse;
private float effic;
private float damage;
private int ench;*/
private ToolMaterial mat;
private OreSword sword;
private SWORDTYPES(String name, int hLevel, int mUse, float effic, float damage, int ench)
{
this.name = name;
this.mat = EnumHelper.addToolMaterial(name, hLevel, mUse, effic, damage, ench);
}
public String getName(){return name;}
public ToolMaterial getMaterial(){return mat;}
public void setSword(OreSword sword){this.sword = sword;}
public OreSword getSword(){return sword;}
}
}
When I run this code it does output the line "this is my override" but it never prints out the line "this is my sword"
The sword I am testing with in game is the correct sword, I have tested this in creative so the sword doesn't take any damage, and in survival with the sword taking damage.
If someone can explain to me either what I should be doing to check an item or what I might be missing in my implementation I would appreciate it.

Always use public boolean equals(Object obj) when comparing two strings in Java.
if(sword.getUnlocalizedName().equals(SWORDTYPES.COAL.getSword().getUnlocalizedName()))
Also, if they are not equal a nice trick is to try and print them to see what makes them unequal, for example;
System.out.println("sword: " + sword.getUnlocalizedName());
System.out.println("SWORDTYPES: " + SWORDTYPES.COAL.getSword().getUnlocalizedName());
